iOS Build a Playlist Browser with Objective-C Refactoring Our Code Tapping On Our Playlists

Icon colors aren's showing up

I have gone through the Playlist project on Objective-C, and everything works fine except that the icons are supposed to display a background color. They aren't displaying the colors. I have been through the code multiple times and re-watched some of the lessons. I still cant figure out what i have done wrong

Sam, It sounds like the Xcode project background colors for the images were not set after the process of downloading the file from the internet. Files sometimes change when they are downloaded from the internet because most online storage website find ways to shrink files so they will take less server storage and in turn sometimes can destroy saved attributes such as the background color in an Xcode project. I would look at the mockup file inside the project assets and then recolor the images accordingly. If that doesn't work, you can send me the project and I can help you with the colors since I have completed this course. I apologize for the trouble this has caused you.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Thank you! I just reopened the code a little bit ago, and realized I had misspelled "alpha" (embarrassing) The issue has been resolved

Thanks! I am glad I could help!
