iOS Curious question about this small function?

[MythicFrost]

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated { //Line 31
	[super viewDidAppear:animated];
	[self performSelector:@selector(dismissSplashScreen) withObject:nil afterDelay:3.0];
}

That code works fine, if I remove (BOOL) on the function, it shows a warning saying:

Line 31 Conflicting types for '-(void)viewDidAppear:(id)animated'
Line 32 Passing argument 1 of 'viewDidAppear:' makes integer from pointer without a cast

Any idea's why? Thanks.

Did you declare that method in your header? If so, you should remove it as it's unnecessary. Overriding methods doesn't require that you redeclare it in your header, as the method is already declared in the superclass's header.

Good to know, but don't think I declared it in my header.

It's declared in the superclass, you are changing the type (BOOL) to a conflicting type (id).
