UIView extension causes ambiguity due to name collision.

[OrkhanAlikhanov]

Importing a framework in swift results in importing all public extensions from that framework. Material offers UIView.borderWidth extension which causes ambiguity for the compiler when I try to use PopTip.borderWidth. According to this answer and its comments it is impossible to resolve. I tried subclassing and overriding the borderWidth assuming that compiler will recognize what I am overriding, yet again failed. As the final way out I am using NSObject.setValue(, forKey) method. It works but I am not sure about its behavior.

popTip.setValue(0.5, forKey: "borderWidth")

Let's discuss this in Material Gitter as there isn't an issue here. There is a conflict because of two libraries.

Well, actually I opened an issue here so that when someone encounteres the same problem, he/she can search for and find a way out.

[daniel-jonathan]

Yes, that is a great reason. So in that case, let's leave a fix for this. I was hoping to discuss what should be done when this situation arises? As it will probably again on another property.

Cannot override mutable property 'borderColor' of type 'UIColor?' with covariant type 'UIColor'
Same issues it is complaining it is trying to override borderColor in Material Framework

@AtherSajjad When did that happen? Let's discuss this at CosmicMind/Material gitter
