Objective-C: issues in setting up boolean value?

Question

Consider this json

{
            "amount": "60.81",
            "category": "Utilities",
            "debit": true,
            "name": "Comcast",
            "date": "Sat, 02 Aug 2014 14:36:46 -0000",
            "uuid": "112c43eb-6e5e-4b4d-9079-6d896fa11b01"
        }

I have a TransactionModel class which looks like

TransactionModel.h

@interface TransactionModel : NSObject
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *uuid;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *name;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *amount;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *category;
@property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL *debit;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *date;

- (TransactionModel *) initWithDictionary: (NSDictionary *) dictionary;
@end

and in TransactionalModel.m, I do the following

@implementation TransactionModel

    - (TransactionModel *)initWithDictionary:(NSDictionary *)dictionary {
        TransactionModel *transactionModel = [[TransactionModel alloc] init];
        transactionModel.uuid = [dictionary valueForKey:@"uuid"];
        transactionModel.name = [dictionary valueForKey:@"name"];
        transactionModel.amount = [dictionary valueForKey:@"amount"];
        transactionModel.debit = [[dictionary valueForKey:@"debit"] boolValue];
        transactionModel.category = [dictionary valueForKey:@"category"];
        transactionModel.date = [dictionary valueForKey:@"date"];
        return transactionModel;
    }
    @end

I am using AppCode and it warns on line

transactionModel.debit = [[dictionary valueForKey:@"debit"] boolValue];

as

Taking pointer from integer without a cast

enter image description here

is it not the right way to set boolean value?

It should be @property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL debit; NOT @property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL *debit;.

You wrote BOOL *debit;, which means pointer to a BOOL

Change it to BOOL debit;

@property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL *debit; should not have an asterisk (*)
