My code for the "Build a playlist browser" app is the same as the source code from the project files. But I am receiving an error when running. I can successfully build the app, but it will crash upon running before loading.
import Foundation
import UIKit
struct Playlist {
var title: String?
var description: String?
var icon: UIImage?
var largeIcon: UIImage?
var artists: [String] = []
var backgroundColor: UIColor = UIColor.clearColor()
init(index: Int) {
let musicLibrary = MusicLibrary().library
let playlistDictionary = musicLibrary[index] // the error is thrown on this line
title = playlistDictionary["title"] as! String!
description = playlistDictionary["description"] as! String!
let iconName = playlistDictionary["icon"] as! String!
icon = UIImage(named: iconName)
let largeIconName = playlistDictionary["largeIcon"] as! String!
largeIcon = UIImage(named: largeIconName)
artists += playlistDictionary["artists"] as! [String]
let colorsDictionary = playlistDictionary["backgroundColor"] as! [String:CGFloat]
backgroundColor = rgbColorFromDictionary(colorsDictionary)
}

47,913 PointsThe crash is happening when you're creating a new Playlist. You're passing the init a value that MusicLibrary().library doesn't have. If you could post the rest of your app's code, I might be able to help figure out why
