Here is the way to create Array of Dictionary :

Objective C :

NSArray *arrTemp = @[
                     @{@"Appearance" : @"Copper",
                       @"Bitterness" : @(50),
                       @"Style" : @"India Pale Ale (IPA)"},

                     @{@"Appearance" : @"Jet Black",
                       @"Bitterness" : @(35),
                       @"Style" : @"Stout"},

                     @{@"Appearance" : @"Copper",
                       @"Bitterness" : @(25),
                       @"Style" : @"English Brown Ale"},

                     @{@"Appearance" : @"Deep Gold",
                       @"Bitterness" : @(25),
                       @"Style" : @"Bock"}
                     ];

Swift :

        let arrTemp: [[String:Any]] = [
                                    ["Appearance" : "Copper",
                                     "Bitterness" : 50,
                                     "Style" : "India Pale Ale (IPA)"],

                                    ["Appearance" : "Jet Black",
                                    "Bitterness" : 35,
                                    "Style" : "Stout"],

                                    ["Appearance" : "Copper",
                                    "Bitterness" : 25,
                                    "Style" : "English Brown Ale"],

                                    ["Appearance" : "Deep Gold",
                                    "Bitterness" : 25,
                                    "Style" : "Bock"]
                                  ]

Answer 2

Dictionaries are initialized like this:

NSDictionary *dict = @{ key : value, key2 : value2};

Arrays are initialized like this:

NSArray *array = @[Object1, Object2]

So you can create Dictionaries object as per your data and add to array like

NSArray *array = @[DicObject1, DicObject2]

Any doubt plz comment.
