Does not make sense

The editor is saying the attached code cannot be complied and gives no error message when I click Preview. I can execute in XCode without a problem so I'm not really sure how to finish the quiz.

optionals.swift 
struct Book {
    let title: String
    let author: String
    let price: String?
    let pubDate: String?

    init?(dictionary dict : [String : String]) {
        if dict["title"] != nil && dict["author"] != nil {
            self.author = dict["author"]!
            self.title = dict["title"]!
            self.price = dict["price"]
            self.pubDate = dict["pubDate"]
        } else {
            return nil
        }
    }
}
