Hi there, i have a problem and i don't know what it caused by =(

A problem like that: Failed to instantiate the default view controller for UIMainStoryboardFile 'Main' - perhaps the designated entry point is not set?

What wrong I've done? P.S. this is no in challenge but in my xCode.

Hey, Vladislav.

I will copy paste a solution I found on the web that might help you out:

  1. Create a new Storyboard in your project, name it something like Main_iPhoneV2 (or iPadV2 depending on your original storyboard style)
  2. Open the broken storyboard, click anywhere in the white area and press command-a, then command-c (select all and copy)
  3. Open your new storyboard and press command-v to paste the same exact setup
  4. Go to your project settings, change your "Main Interface" to the new Main_iPhoneV2 (If it's your iPad and you're writing a universal app, you'll have to edit the -Info.plist and look for the value "Main storyboard file base name (iPad)
  5. Recompile, and stop pulling your hair out
