Black Screen and error

I get this error when I try to run my app at this point. Should I just be patient? Are we going to get to this at some point?

warning: Unsupported Configuration: Scene is unreachable due to lack of entry points and does not have an identifier for runtime access via -instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:.

I'm having the same problem, and can't find a solution. The very first steps in this project are creating the tabs within the storyboard, but all I get when I build and run is a black screen and the warning listed above.

This really drove me crazy for hours, until I finally found something that worked: You need to select the Tab Bar Controller, and then under the Attributes inspector make sure that the box next to Is Initial View Controller is checked.

Thank you :)

Try this site it should help.

OK that doesn't help. But it seems like you are missing a segue or didn't add the class to the view controller.
