Hello all,

In our Android code, we have the following:

```

val protobufMessage: com.google.protobuf.Message? = protobufsMessageData.protobufGeneratedMessage
datastreamObject = protobufMessage.getParserForType().parseFrom(inputStream)

```

We're creating the equivalent app in iOS, and we're wondering if GPB for iOS has the `getParserForType` function?

Currently, we only see `GPBMessage.parse(from: Data)`

This successfully parses, but it creates a GPBMessage type which we're then NOT able to cast to the object type of our messages.

Is this not possible in iOS protobufs?

We're using the `Protobuf` cocoapod for this app, which is linked to by the Google Protobuf GitHub repo.

Please help.

Cheers,

Andre
