Answer 1

The problem is that you did:
oProduct.all_images = dt["all_images"] as? [String]
but all_images is not a string, it is a dictionary as you can see in your json.
You have to access the key image of all_images in order to show it properly.
See this:
How to access deeply nested dictionaries in Swift
You can try this:
oProduct.all_images = dt["all_images"]["image"] as? [String]

Answer 2

The value for key all_images is an array of dictionaries. If you want to extract all image values use the flatMap function
if let allImages = dt["all_images"] as? [[String:Any]] {
oProduct.all_images = allImages.flatMap { $0["image"] as? String }
}
But consider that the value for key image is the string representation of an URL.
