having problems running Treehouse Blog Reader app

It might be that you are directly trying to set a value on your controller that does not exist. Please post your code if you are still having an issue.

I can't run mine either, this is my error: Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'data parameter is nil'

I have compared my code side-by-side to Amit's

Can you please post your code?

When my crash occurs it shows the 'main' with this line highlighted in green:

return UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, NSStringFromClass([AppDelegate class])); }

implementation:

[super viewDidLoad];

NSURL *blogURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"blog.teamtreehouse.com/api/getrecentsummary"];
NSData *jsonData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:blogURL];

NSError *error = nil;

NSDictionary *dataDictionary = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:jsonData options:0 error:&error];
NSLog(@"%@", dataDictionary);

self.blogPosts = [dataDictionary objectForKey:@"posts"];

ok now it is working without a crash but the view is blank.

I first removed the "_" underscore between words in the url then added the http://

so now the simulator will run but with an empty screen

Have you modified the methods related to the table view?

No I have not. Since there we no RED errors and I spent quire some time reviewing the videos many times I still could not figure out what i did wrong. So I pasted your code in and replaced mine, but only the small amount below superViewDidLoad and it worked. It is weird tho! I am usually at fault with user error but my code looked like your code. but yours works.

Amit you are a great instructor, Please Continue what you do. After the IOS learning I don't see a need to subscribe.

Thank you. Appreciate the kind words. Once you modify the methods related to the table view you should see the blog post title appear in the simulator.
