9,276 PointsBuild a Self Destructing App - Ribbit App showing black screen in simulator
When running the app in the simulator, I'm just getting a black screen. I started building the app using Xcode 5 in Mavericks, then when i updated to Xcode 6 in Yosemite and opened my Ribbit Xcode file, i always get a black screen instead of the log-in / sign up screens.
All the codes are correct, as I'm not encountering any errors.
Also, in the main storyboard, the text fields /labels / buttons are sometimes there, sometimes not. I had a problem earlier because the username filed was under the nav bar.
I've spent a lot of time trying to play around with Xcode 6 instead of proceeding with learning and building the app.
I hate to leave this app unfinished.
Treehouse, please update the videos or help fix my problem. Thanks

Good luck!
