Heads up for anyone without auto-complettion, a lot of errors and all black code.

Hey guys,

When I started adding Pasan's code from this video I noticed I wasn't getting auto-completion, I was getting a lot of errors and all the new code was black because Xcode wasn't recognizing the new code. As you can imagine I was looking all over the place to find out where I went wrong.

Actually nothing is wrong and you just have to restart Xcode. In the previous video Pasan had us delete various things so I think somewhere along the line Xcode didn't like something. Not necessarily orphans but Xcode needed a cleaning obviously.

As soon as I restarted Xcode saw all my code and everything was nice and colourful again. Good luck.

Sometimes cmd-shift-k to clean the build will "fix" some compiler errors. I usually try this before restarting.

I have been having major code completion issues with Xcode, up to the point of Xcode freezing when I was having too many projects open... for anyone who is having long-term code completion issues, here's what I discovered:

1) Verify that you haven't accidentally toggled it off: Ctrl + Space will toggle it off or on for you.

2) This post on StackOverflow did the trick for me: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25883905/xcode-6-swift-code-completion-not-working (I had to empty the Derived Data folder and also delete the cache for it to work again -- see instructions)
