Create a constant named bestSmartphone and assign it the string "iPhone".

I've tried several responses to this question and don't understand where I am going wrong. Checked in the forums and all their answers for this aren't working.

I tried:

let bestSmartphone = "iPhone"

getting_started.swift 
let bestSmartphone = "iPhone"

Pasan Premaratne Hi, I tried this too. It seems like there is an error in your tests. Or shouldn't be let bestSmartphone = "iPhone" the solution for this challenge?

Which version of the course are you taking? To me it says this challenge is associated with the "Build a Simple iPhone App with Swift" course. Is that the one being referred to?

That specific course is in Swift 1.0 which does not work anymore. Moreover it was removed from the library over a year ago, so I don't know how you have access to this course (if that is the one you're taking).

We also have Build a Simple iPhone App with Swift 2 and Build a Simple iPhone App with Swift 3. If you're taking either one of those, then this is a different issue and probably a bug

Ah, okay. I thought it must be accessible because the challenge is accessible too. Also you can get to the whole course from within the challenge.

Cool, I'll follow up on this. In the mean time you should switch to the Swift 3 version!
