I'm trying to test my app (Crystal Ball) but I can't get it to work in IOS Simulator. I click the "build and run" button and the IOS Simulator starts but it only displays a black screen. Need help solving this problem.
I'm running OS 10.9.2, Xcode 5.1 (5B130a) and IOS Simulator 7.1

Stone Preston
42,016 PointsIf you click your project name at the top of the file explorer on the left side of xcode (the icon looks like a blue print) it should open up you project settings. In the info tab there should be a setting labeled main interface. Set your storyboard file as the main interface

Courses Plus Student 2,447 PointsI clicked on price settings but I don't see anything that can set the storyboard file as the main interface. Maybe I should start the project all over again. :(

42,016 PointsI wouldn't start over. It's definitely there. It's in one of the first project settings tabs. Maybe general? I don't have xcode in front of me so it can't say for sure. But there is a drop down in the general settings labeled main interface. Click the drops down and select your storyboard or just type the name of the storyboard in the blank

Nothing regarding to any storyboard or main interface.
