A lot has changed…

While it didn't stop me from completing the steps I needed to accomplish what this video was asking I did notice that quite a bit is different since this video was recorded. The parse.com interface and options are slightly different, the steps required to complete the Push Notification cert part of the whole thing is much more involved on Parse's side, and even Xcode's interface is quite a bit different.

I just wanted to put this out there in case anyone else comes along and is wondering why they're not seeing things the way they are in the video. For instance, in order to get Parse to test correctly I had to create push notification certs, a provision profile, and then install them to test with an actual device. It didn't test properly until I got the app running on my phone and it was able to talk to parse.com. Once I got all of that setup it passed Parse's test.
