Convert NSString to NSArray of characters

Question

I'm trying to convert NSString to NSArray of characters by I haven't found a way to do it.

Here is my code:

NSString *one = @"abc";
const char *charOne= [one UTF8String];

But if I try to convert NSArray:

 NSArray *arrayOne = [[NSArray alloc] initWithArray:(NSArray*)charOne];

I get this error: Cast of non-Objective-C pointer type const char * to NSArray is disallowed in ARC

My question to guys, how can I can convert NSString to NSArray of characters?

I'll really appreciate your help

Clarify what you want in the array. Do you want an array of `unichar`? An array of `NSString` each representing a single character? Note that some Unicode characters won't fit in `unichar`. — rmaddy, Jan 04 '17 at 22:09

@ShalomDahan, if you look closely the string doesn't have commas — user2924482, Jan 04 '17 at 22:14

try this

NSMutableArray *letterArray = [NSMutableArray array];
NSString *letters = @"ABCDEFक्";
[letters enumerateSubstringsInRange:NSMakeRange(0, [letters length]) 
                                    options:(NSStringEnumerationByComposedCharacterSequences) 
                                 usingBlock:^(NSString *substring, NSRange substringRange, NSRange enclosingRange, BOOL *stop) {
            [letterArray addObject:substring];
        }];

from : NSString to NSArray
