Crystal Ball Build Failed

Im at the portion of the crystal ball app where we're adding arrays, and when I went to run the app, the build failed and I got this message:

malformed or corrupted PCH file: 'could not find file '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contentc/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator6.1.sdk/usr/include/secure/_stdio.h' referenced by AST file'

I have no idea how to fix it or what went wrong to cause it to fail. Any help would be much appreciated, Thanks!

Every iOS project has a "Supporting Files" folder within Xcode and there should be a file with a ".pch" extension. For the Crystal Ball project there should be one named "CrystalBall-Prefix.pch". If it is missing you can copy it from the project files provided to you, which can be downloaded below the video under the Downloads section.

Thanks for the quick reply! I opened up the supporting files folder, and the crystal ball-prefix.pch file is there already, but still no luck getting the app to run.

Never mind, I deleted the original crystal ball-prefix.pch file and replaced it with the one from the project download and now it works. Thanks for your help!
