I am trying to make an IBAction populate a dictionary with multiple strings from textfields that the user will input player names into.
I have no idea where I am making the mistake, since the debugger does not give me any errors, nothing is written in the console.
The code I've written looks something like this:
AddPlayerViewController.h
@property NSMutableDictionary *playersDict;
@property UITextfield *playerTextField;
AddPlayerViewController.m
-(IBAction) toGameDesc:(id)sender{
[_playersDict setObject:self.playerTextField.text forKey:@"player"];
}
The IBAction also acts as a push seque to the next viewcontroller.

Treehouse Guest TeacherHow do you have the IBAction as an action and a segue at the same time? It can be either one or the other.

Should I make a separate IBAction, call it on the same button that calls the push segue or is there a different way that would be optimal?

Treehouse Guest TeacherYou can have it as an IBAction and then from within your code push the segue.
