5,913 PointsBuild successful but simulator screen stays blank & Thread 1: signal SIGABRT
I'm stuck on Blues and Purples. I have the code exactly the same (I think) but then I try and run the Simulator, I get the prompt that the says "Build Successful" but the screen on the simulator stays blank.
I also get thrown back to the DeBug Navigator on Xcode and get a message that says Thread 1: signal SIGABRT beside the following code: class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
My code is as follows

That error is usually caused by having a dead link between your code and your storyboard. Check you haven't deleted a UI element but left the link in place.
