Image won't load

I copied the exact code but when i run the app.... the image wont load. Just the background color of the UIView shows. Help?

@IBOutlet weak var aButton: UIButton!
@IBOutlet weak var playlistView1: UIImageView!


override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    aButton.setTitle("Press This Button!", forState: .Normal)
    let playlist = Playlist(index: 0)

Had the same problem and found my solution when I rechecked my code. Go to your Playlist file and check for unnecessary quotation marks given to iconName.

let iconName = playlistDictionary["icon"] as! String!
        icon = UIImage(named: iconName)

It looks like a simple typo. You set the outlet variable as "playlistView1" and it should be "playlistView0" because you are referencing index 0

Try this:

class PlaylistMasterViewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var aButton: UIButton!
    @IBOutlet weak var playlistImageView0: UIImageView!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        aButton.setTitle("Press me!", forState: .Normal)

        let playlist = Playlist(index: 0)
        playlistImageView0.image = playlist.icon

    }
