I know a few others have gotten a similar error but I can't find my answer in other posts. I've followed Pasan's code exactly and can't seem to find errors. Below is the posted code that Xcode says the error is in. It specifically highlights this:
playlistsArray += [playlistImageView0, playlistImageView1, playlistImageView2, playlistImageView3, playlistImageView4, playlistImageView5]
Rest of the function:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
playlistsArray += [playlistImageView0, playlistImageView1, playlistImageView2, playlistImageView3, playlistImageView4, playlistImageView5]
for index in 0..<playlistsArray.count {
let playlist = Playlist(index: index)
let playlistImageView = playlistsArray[index]
playlistImageView.image = playlist.icon
playlistImageView.backgroundColor = playlist.backgroundColor
}
}

Firstly, do your playlistImageViews all have an outlet in your Main Storyboard? To tell, go to the storyboard, open the right column/window in the editor. Top-right, there's 5 little icons - the one on the far right is an arrow in a circle; click that.
Under there you should see something like Outlet Connections and Referencing Outlets. Now, click each of your image views on the storyboard - does each one have a referencing out - a unique one for its ImageView number?
Try that first - and then we can look elsewhere!
