Ambiguous use of subscript error only on real device - arrays

Question

When I try to run the code below on my iPhone, I get the following error
rrr.swift:356:72: Ambiguous use of 'subscript'
The strange thing is it happens only when I want to run the app on the phone, on the simulator however it works fine.
There are 3 lines which cause the error where. I noted them below in the code in capital letters.
I try to access properties in an array inside the JSON array, I suspect Im doing it the wrong way but have no idea how to fix it.
How can these properties be retrieved without the subscript error?
self.restApi.getSchoolDetails(schoolId) {responseObject, error in
// use responseObject and error here
self.schoolDetailsCollection = NSDictionary(dictionary: responseObject! as! [String : AnyObject])
print(self.schoolDetailsCollection)
if let response = responseObject as? NSDictionary {
//parse the response object
self.schoolDetailsList = (response as? NSDictionary)!
//assigning all values to shareData class
self.shareData.sco_id = response["result"]!["sco_id"] as!NSInteger
self.shareData.address = response["result"]!["address"] as!String
self.shareData.name = response["result"]!["name"] as! String
print("school name")
print(self.shareData.name)
self.shareData.intro = response["result"]!["intro"] as! String
self.shareData.sell_point = response["result"]!["sell_point"] as! String
self.shareData.city = response["result"]!["city"] as! String
self.shareData.cou_id = response["result"]!["cou_id"] as! String
//get images from the nested array in the json array
/THESE THREE LINES CAUSE THE ERROR SUBSRCIPT
self.shareData.image1 = response["result"]!["images"][0]! as! String
self.shareData.image2 = response["result"]!["images"]![1] as! String
self.shareData.image3 = response["result"]!["images"]![2] as! String
print(self.shareData.image1)
print(self.shareData.image2)
print(self.shareData.image3)
//open next controller after all info has been set correctly
//info is being passed by Singleton class Sharedata
if let COBezierDemoViewController = self.storyboard!.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("COBezierDemoViewController") as? COBezierDemoViewController {
self.presentViewController(COBezierDemoViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
}
}
The JSON file:
{
result = {
address = "223 Vincent St, West Perth WA 6005, Australia";
city = Perth;
"cou_id" = AU;
"cur_id" = "";
environment = R;
financed = "<null>";
images = (
"Phoenix_Academy_1.jpeg",
"Phoenix_Academy_3.jpeg",
"Phoenix_Academy_2.jpeg"
);
intro = "Our language school in Perth has a modern campus and a spacious garden. The language school is located 10 minutes north from the city center. You can reach the city center and the famous bea

As you hint that error in this line:
self.shareData.image1 = response["result"]!["images"][0]! as! String
Error:
Error is [0] subscript which you are implementing in AnyObject.
response["result"]!["images"] // this is returning Optional<AnyObject> which do not have subscript option.
Correct way should be this:
Downcast AnyObject as? [String] // this will either return nil or an Optional Array<String?> where String is image name.
Without downcasting, you will get error: Ambiguous use of subscript.
let images = response["result"]? ["images"] as? [String]
images?.flatMap({ $0 }).forEach {
print($0) // Phoenix_Academy_1.jpeg, Phoenix_Academy_3.jpeg, Phoenix_Academy_2.jpeg
