the array comes out blank. How have you checked it? One more. Your code does not seem to be too long. Please use Code block (<>) instead of Text attachment.

Thanks for showing formatted code. Yes, the line with self.printNames() is a funcition that prints what ever is in the array out Sorry, but you have not shown the definition of printNames() and I cannot find what's going on without it.

The print statement on line 21 prints out the google api page There's no print statement on line 21 of my code, is it line 11? And you mean the URL string by the google api page? It would be far better copying all the outputs in the debug console than trying to describe them by words. then nothing else is printed until line 51, "value for location not found or not string". It is strange and would never happen. If line 51 would be executed, line 30 print(String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) ?? "?") is definitely executed.  I did try change the array type to double but same output.  Please show your code when talking about changing code. I really do not understand what you have tried. When I switch, on line 46, the key value to "name" it is still able to store the values of name into the array and prints out properly. I do not understand what you mean. What is switch? What is able to store the values? Please show actual code you used and actual output you saw. I've been picking parts from different forums to try and make this app. Seems you have chosen a very bad one. If you find NS-something in a code, you should better avoid it. (A little bit too simplified, but would be useful in many cases -- avoid NS-things.)

This is the entire printed console when the code is ran:  Thanks for showing the output, but the JSON, outermost structure is JSON object must start with { (opening brace). Seems a few lines are missing. Can you show really entire output? (UPDATE) Can you show really entire output? Sorry, but no thank you. Seems your Console Out contains outputs of two runs. The first 936 lines for the first run -- partial, and the latter for the second run -- entire. Found what's wrong -- there's no entry of type String for the key "location" in the response. Need some time to write a more detailed answer...

When I access the ListObjView(), I'm unable to navigate back to home view. Is there anything that causes this? There may be something in the hidden parts of your code causing this. I cannot reproduce the issue with your code shown. Please show enough code to reproduce.

When the print statement is within the do brackets, it shows it is filled, but once its after the task.resume(), it will only show a populated array after the second execution  You may be handling asynchronous method in a bad way. Which may caused by your hidden parts of code and that is another issue. You should better start a new thread which includes all relevant parts. Please do not ask things which is not included in the opening post. Keep one thread for one topic.

Have I somehow cleared the arrays without knowing? NO. You are using Arrays before they are populated. dataTask is an asynchronous call. The completion handler (line 25 { ... line 82 }) is executed after the task is complete. That printNames() on line 84 is executed before the task is completed. How to fix may depend on how you want to use the Arrays. Again, you are not showing the code using the Arrays.

The gotoplaces() function is what utilizes the arrays: Thanks for showing the code. Then you need to call gotoaces() or (gotoplaces() or gotoPlaces()?) inside the completion handler. I thought that since the function was called after task.resume() meant that it finished? It is a very common misunderstanding among who are not accustomed to async call. task.resume() just triggers to start the task. When the task is finished, iOS tell your app that the task is completed. Another too simplified advice: Do not write any lines after task.resume().

Never mind, I found that error. If you found something wrong and fixed it by yourself, please share your solution. There are some readers other than you and me, and more in the future. Sharing the solution would benefit all such readers, and me.

There was just an extra "e" OK, thank you for sharing the info. Happy to hear I could help solving your issue.

Error -> Left side of mutating operator isn't mutable: 'self' is immutable Please show enough code to reproduce the issue.

any password of 9 or more characters ny password of 13 or more characters Seems you want to ignore the fact that there were no description about what you had input on SIGABRT. And you expect some specific memory allocation on auto variables. Anyway, please clarify the difference between what you expect and what you actually get, for each possible inputs. Some of them may be caused by buffer overflow protections, and some other by your wrong expectations.

Received Failed to produce diagnostic for expression; please file a bug report What do you want? This is not a place to write a bug report. If you want some help to solve the issue, please show enough code and say so.

My build is failing and I don't know why.  Swift compiler fails to output proper diagnostics when some primitive errors found in constructing views. Please use Code block (<>) when you include codes in text.

things have changed in 12.4.  Things had changed in 12.0. For instance there's no more AppDelegate.swift file. I would start at class ViewController: UIViewController before. Now there's struct ContentView: View  which I don't recall when in started learning in late 2020. Do I need to repeat? When you choose Storyboard as Interface` when creating a new project, you can find AppDelegate.swift or ViewController.swift. And then you can remove what you think is not needed for you. Is it that I never used SwiftUI? At lease in your past posts, you have never used SwiftUI.
