I ran this function in Xcode and it seemed to work fine, but I can't seem to find why it does not work for the challenge.
func greeting(person: String) -> (String,String) {
let language = "English"
let greeting = "Hello \(person)"
let outs = (greeting, language)
return outs
}

Your code worked in Xcode because it's correct code. However, it's not a correct solution to the challenge! The challenge asks for a named tuple as the return type. This code passed the challenge for me:
func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting: String, language: String) {
let language = "English"
let greeting = "Hello \(person)"
return (greeting: greeting, language: language)
}
It's a little confusing because the names and the constants are the same, but you could call the constants lang and greet, and your code would look like this:
func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting: String, language: String) {
let lang = "English"
let greet = "Hello \(person)"
return(greeting: greet, language: lang)
}
Make sense?
