unreadable archives with no workaround is quite serious
It’s actually quite an unusual scenario, I finally realized:
a. You’re archiving something in a keyed archive without a key.
b. You’re archiving using an API that I doubt is used at all very often. (Also, the non-array version of the …ObjCType API is deprecated.)
Very true - as I mentioned it's very old code that hasn’t been revisited in along time. Nevertheless, it’s not deprecated, and has always worked previously. I’ve never found anything in documentation that suggests it’s not something that should be used. I’m certainly willing to update my code to use something more robust in future, but that still leaves the problem of reading the existing archives.
