# xpc_object_t

A type that can describe all XPC objects, including dictionaries, arrays, strings, and numbers.

## Declaration

```swift
typealias xpc_object_t = any OS_xpc_object
```

## Discussion

Discussion XPC objects are created with a retain count of 1, and therefore it is the caller’s responsibility to call xpc_release on them when they are no longer needed.
