I have tried to complete the 4/4 questionary of building a Blog Reader and the last one is failing for me.

Converting the futureDate object to a string object

NSString dateString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:futureDate];

Is there something wrong or missing?

Very small mistake. You forgot the pointer in front of "dateString"! The full code for the whole challenge should be:

NSTimeInterval secondsPerDay = 60 * 60 * 24;
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
// Add your code below
NSDate *today = [NSDate date];
NSDate *futureDate = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:10*secondsPerDay];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"MM/dd/yyyy"];
NSString *dateString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:futureDate];
