ViewsType 'object' must have a 'Symbol.iterator' method that returns an iterator
data.technologies is an array and I would like to get the output of that array.
This is how the output of data.technologies looks like:
this.profileService.getEntities().subscribe(data => {
for (const technology of data.technologies) {
console.log(technology);
}
});
The type of getEntities() is Observable<IprofileData>.
export interface IprofileData {
technologies: object;
}
TypeScript gives me the error:
TS2488: Type 'object' must have a 'Symbol.iterator' method that returns an iterator.
What am I doing wrong?

For future googlers:
This is also the error message returned if you forget to objectify your function inputs.
Example:
setCurrRowData(...currRowData, sort_order: num);
Fix:
setCurrRowData( { ...currRowData, sort_order: num } );
// ^ ^

Runtime structure is correct, it is an array, but the type says (from your comment) that it is just an object. Object has no iterator protocol, array has.
Example type which should fulfill the need:
type Data {
...// some other props
technologies: string[] // change string into any type you have there
}

Is data.technologies a function (you mentioned it "returned" an array)? If so, you simply need to call it like this:
this.profileService.getEntities().subscribe(data => {
for (const technology of data.technologies()) {
console.log(technology);
}
});
