Im on that same version, my only difference is that I am on a 15" MacBook Pro late 2012 (Retina).

1) Select Aerial in System Preferences.
2) Close System Preferences.
3) Re-open System Preferences.

The error should now be gone.

If you still see the error please let me know.

If you are curious why this is happening, it's a bug in macOS caused by multiple different versions of the Swift libraries. You can read more about it here.

It was reported to Apple over a year ago. They still haven't fixed it.
