Hi
The last part of the video has us 'return iconImage' in the weatherIconFromString function, but not as an unwrapped optional. Xcode complains about this not being unwrapped as we've made 'icon' an optional, so I add the "!" or bang at the end and Xcode is fine.
When I go to run the app, however, it just crashes after loading and provides me with a "EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION" fatal error as it finds 'nil'.
I'm not finding a solution to this problem. Any ideas?

4,022 PointsHi Kyle,
Thanks for your reply; I figured it out! I'd forgotten to ad the "if (error == nil) {}" piece, so the app wasn't loading the dictionary of JSON data. Whoops!
Thanks again, Shaine

Can you post the all code you used for the method? That may help us get pointed in the right direction.
In the mean time, you can use breakpoints to step through and see where it fails. That should give you a clue to where the problem is occuring. Here is a simple, and seemingly straightforward tutorial on how to use breakpoints if you are unfamiliar:

It's an essential art in programming, definitely worth a few minutes if you aren't familiar with it yet.
Good luck, Kyle
