I can't find the compile (play) button from the Compile and Run video.

I just downloaded Xcode and cannot find the compile button (the button that shows on the video as a play button). What am I missing?

ok. it looks like you opened the main.c file. you need to open the xcode project file. it will have a blue xcode icon and a .xcodeproj file extension. once you open the project file you should be able to build and run

can you post a screen shot of what you are seeing? it should be up in the top left corner of the xcode window. command + r on your keyboard will also run the project

Command R isn't running the project either. Maybe I did not open the file correctly.
