How to set up an Obj C prg. like the video...I stepped through the Xcode options for obj C and my set up is different...

again...from where the video starts in Xcode and file set up...maybe it is my version of Xcode, but from the UI selection options my files did not set up the same nor when I opened mine did the NS log info. appear...want to make sure I have the correct files and that they are organized the same before going forward. What is the best way to set up Obj C video to mirror the teaching video?

Hi Tera, In Xcode if you are setting up to run Obj-C, select Command Line Tool in the Application section of OSX (it should be the first window that pops up when you create a new project). Then after you name it, the change the dropdown section for "Type" from "C" to "Foundation".
Once your done setting up the the project, if you click on main.m in the navigator on the left, you should see the NSLog(); under the comments in the main function.

That should solve the problem.

Thanks for the response. That way did bring up the NSLog(); script however, the file did not show #import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>. I am still learning, however, I think that having that #import header is more important. I opened just about every file you could in Xcode and the file that opened with with <Cocoa/Cocoa.h> was Cocoa Application under OS X. I then deleted and changed the body that automatically showed up in the file to match the video. I am going to go with what I created and see if I end up with the same results as the video at the end of the video. :)
