@property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *username;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *password;
So that means we simply need to access that property and set it's value, just like you are doing, but just do it to the properties already created for us. (I know it's confusing...)
- (IBAction)signup:(id)sender {
self.username = self.usernameField.text;
self.password = self.passwordField.text;
}
