Cannot get value with size 16. The type encoded as {?={CGPoint=dd}d} is expected to be 24 bytes

Question

This error appears when trying to get a CGPoint from NSValue:

"Cannot get value with size 16. The type encoded as {?={CGPoint=dd}d} is expected to be 24 bytes"

for (NSValue *p in array) {
      CGPoint pointValue = p.CGPointValue; //Here appears this error
}

for (NSValue *p in array) {
      CGPoint pointValue = [p CGPointValue]; //Here appears this error too
}

The NSValue is created from a Library and cannot access on it.

Edit 1 Printing p.objCType results is: {CGPoint=dd}

Edit 2 Printing array result is:

Edit 3 Note that getting the value in this way:

CGPoint pointValue = CGPointMake(0, 0);
[p getValue:&pointValue];

Works in Debug mode but crashes in Release.

Answer 1

struct { // just here for reference
   CGFloat x;
   CGFloat y;
} CGPoint; 

struct {
   CGPoint p;
   double d;
} AssumedEntryType;

typedef AssumedEntryType SomeEntry;

d stays for double. Looking at your debug print it seems those are 3 values in a struct. So those numbers could represent any data type that fits in 8 byte each (8*3=24).

Internally NSValue instances consist of a blob of bytes paired with a C-String describing the name and structure of the bytes.

If {?={CGPoint=dd}d} is your describing C String of NSValue then you should be able to do the following decoding as a NSValue extension

-(SomeEntry)someEntryValue 
{
    SomeEntry entry;
 
    [self getValue:&entry];
 
    return entry;
}

And yes, NSValues can still be collected in NSArray. Just follow what the C struct description told you.

Ps: not tested code.. Some hints taken from this google search result or read more at NSHipster

Edit: as Rob pointed out..
there are different lists for ObjCType encodings and StringFormat Specifiers

And here the NSValue documentation
