Build failed in Xcode in video "Downloading and Parsing Data"

Hi,

when I write this code in Xcode during tutorial,

NSURL *blogURL = [blogURL URLWithString:@"http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/api/get_recent_summary/"];

there's no method of URLWithString in my Xcode, for your information my version of Xcode was 4.6.2,

it shows the red symbol denoted error in coding, when I clicked on that error it said:

"No Visible @interface for 'NSURL' declare the selector 'URLWithString:'"

what does it means?

is it method of URLWithString was removed by Apple in Update 4.6.2?

extra:

usually when we write a method it appears blue color in the Xcode but when I'm typing this method it does not show up any color.

thanks

You need to call the URLWithString method on NSURL not the blogURL pointer, so it should look like this:

NSURL *blogURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/api/get_recent_summary/"];
