Methods being called on native objects as Objective-C functions, not the haxe versions

[zeen]

@:keep private function test(s :Array<String>) {
    var i = s.length;
    var j = s.join(" ");
    var k = "hello";
    var l = k.length;
}

compiles to

- (void) test:(NSMutableArray*)s{

    int i = s.length;

    NSString *j = [s join:@" "];

    NSString *k = @"hello";
    int l = k.length;
}

This crashes, because length property and the join: selector don't exist in NSMutableArray, and length doesn't exist on NSString either, they should have been replaced with the Haxe code in Array.hx and String.hx.

Is the Array.h is imported in your code? It's a category for NSMutableArray and i implemented those methods. For String indeed is not.

Ah, I figured out the cause of the array crash. You are right that Array.h should work. It fails in some cases where you cast NSArray into NSMutableArray, e.g., String.split uses componentsSeparatedByString, which returns an NSArray, so it doesn't have a length property. I'm fixing String.split to convert the NSArray into an NSMutableArray, will send a pull request.

Strings still need fixing.
