Here you go. I have a basic Mac app in Swift. My view controller is a subclass 
of NSTextFieldDelegate, and the outlet to a text field in the storyboard is 
named myField. Here's the only stuff in my view controller beyond the 
boilerplate code:

@IBOutlet weak var myField:NSTextField! //connected to the text field in the 
storyboard

        func  textDidChange(notification:NSNotification) {
                print("text changed.")
                myField.accessibilityHelp="new help message"
        }

The line setting the value of myField.accessibilityHelp has the error "cannot 
assign to property: 'self' is immutable". Comment out that line and the app 
runs normally. The function doesn't get triggered, because I think I need 
controlTextDidChange instead, but the point is that I see that error as soon as 
I try to modify the accessibility details of the text field, and the app won't 
even build.
