Hi Willie, Your code almost right, except "apperance". It is "appearance".

Hello, I've encountered the same problem. I am writing the following code: 

UINavigationBar * appearance = [UINavigationBar appearance];

but I can't pass the test.

In the previous video Ash Furrow uses the same bit of code. What is wrong? Has anyone passed this exercise already?

Thank you in advance, Ania

Hi Willie,

Your appearance variable is of the wrong type, when you call for the appearance property on a UINavigationBar object it returns the type UIAppearance so instead you should have the following.

UIAppearance *apperance = [UINavigationBar appearance];
