Ribbit Code Challenge - Signing Up New Users Part 2 : Task 3 of 4

Stuck again. I can not make this to work. I have tried many different combinations. This should work.

Now let's use the 'signUpInBackgroundWithBlock' method to sign up this new user. Send this message to the newUser variable. For the block parameter, copy and paste the following empty block: ^(BOOL succeeded, NSError *error) {}

Here is my code

[newUser signUpInBackgroundWithBlock:^(BOOL succeeded, NSError *error) {
        if  (error) {
            UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Sorry!" message:           [error.userInfo objectForKey:@"error"] delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"OK"    otherButtonTitles:nil];
            [alertView show];
        }
    }];

I don't know how a missing curly bracket could have been the answer to the question. I tried very variation that i could think of but in the end, it turned to be extremely simple. here's the code that worked for me:

[newUser signUpInBackgroundWithBlock:^(BOOL succeeded, NSError *error) {}];

Hi Thomas,

Maybe your going a little fast here?

Try to do what the code challenge is telling you to do, and nothing more. :)

Do you have a hint? I have tried pretty much everything. Either i must be tired or not understanding the task. Maybe both.

I was hoping my answer could be a hint to you! Maybe im tired too ^^,

Another hint: "Its easier then what you have done"

I will re-do the code challenge for now, just so i dont mistake it for another.

Damn, how can i have missed that. I was missing a } before my @end somehow i must have deleted it by mistake.

It worked now. Your hint was very good. Thank you for your help.

Say what? The pasted code above is not missing any curly brackets. I believe that must have been a bug in the code challenge! As that was not what i was aiming for ^^, / your error.

Think of it this way - dont think too much about whats done in the application your building! Dont copy paste any code. The codechallenge will give you all the information you need to complete any questions, all you have to do is remember some of the stuff from the video shown.

But anyway, glad you got trough!

By the way, IF you reach the end of the next stage (stage 3) before you go to bed could you see if you experience this issue:

and add a comment to it.

Thanks :)
