How to turn UInt64 into an AnyObject?

Question

let time = UInt64(NSDate().timeIntervalSince1970 * 1000.0)

I need to turn time into an AnyObject so I can use it for one library. How can I do so?

@matt This is however not the correct solution. Just wrapping an NSNumber around it is actually very non-swifty. Sad that this was marked as a duplicate as it is NOT. The correct solution here would be to replace AnyObject with Any, which is never mentioned in any of these posts. — Antwan van Houdt, Jul 07 '16 at 09:55

You need to box it inside an NSNumber, just the same as in Objective C.

let time = UInt64(NSDate().timeIntervalSince1970 * 1000.0)
let obj: AnyObject = NSNumber(unsignedLongLong: time)

I think a better solution would be to replace AnyObject with Any instead, so you can use native swift arrays and collections. Converting to NSNumber is not very swifty. – Antwan van Houdt Jul 07 '16 at 09:57
