cant seem to get out of this bind....im trying to finish the final task.

Im trying to finish the last part of this code...allocating and initializing with the image "_profileImage" that I have already created.

Treehouse.h 
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface Treehouse : NSObject

@property (strong, nonatomic) NSDictionary *friends;



@end
Treehouse.m 
#import "Treehouse.h"

@implementation Treehouse

- (instancetype)init
{
    self = [super init];
    if (self) {
        _friends = @{@"firstName": @"Susan",
                     @"lastName": @"Olson",
                     @"profilePicture": @"susan_profile.png"
                     };
    }
    return self;
}



@end
User.h 
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface User : NSObject

@property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *firstName;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *lastName;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *profileImageName;
@property (nonatomic, strong) UIImage * profileImage;
@property (nonatomic, strong) UIImageView *userProfilePhoto;

@end
User.m 
#import "User.h"
#import "Treehouse.h"

@implementation User



- (instancetype)init
{
    self = [super init];
    if (self) {
        Treehouse *treehouse = [[Treehouse alloc] init];
        NSDictionary *friendsDict = treehouse.friends;

        _firstName = [friendsDict objectForKey:@"firstName"];
        _lastName = [friendsDict objectForKey:@"lastName"];


         NSString *imageFromFriendsDict = [friendsDict objectForKey: @"profilePicture"];
        _profileImageName =  imageFromFriendsDict;

        _profileImage = [UIImage imageNamed:_profileImageName];

       _userProfilePhoto =  [[_userProfilePhoto alloc] initWithImage:_profileImage];








    }
    return self;
}

@end

Your'e trying to alloc and init it as a _userProfilePhoto instead of its type which is UIImageView. Try UIImageView instead of _userProfilePhoto.
