UITextInputMode.activeInputModes() returns the wrong type and crashes in Xcode 7 GM

Status:Open Resolved:
Product:iOS SDK Product Version:Xcode 7 GM
Classification:Serious bug Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
Prior to the Xcode 7 GM, UITextInputMode.activeInputModes() returned an array of UITextInputMode instances. However, in the Xcode 7 GM, the method signature in the header file and documentation states that it returns an array of Strings, which is incorrect. As a result, code that uses activeInputModes correctly no longer compiles, and attempting to use activeInputModes in a Playground throws an exception.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new Playground.
2. Write the following lines:

import UIKit
let result = UITextInputMode.activeInputModes()
result    // Prints the result


Expected Results:
Result should be an array of UITextInputMode instances.

Actual Results:
The Playground shows an error: "Execution was interrupted, reason: EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION (code=EXC_I386_INVOP, subcode=0x0)."

Version:
iOS 9

Notes:


Configuration:
Xcode 7 GM
