Ribbit iOS app: hand to a beginner?

Hi,

I am a beginner iOS developer. Just a few rusted C skills from a long time ago. Went through the Crystal Ball and Ribbit app course material (on PC, couldn't do Xcode).

Now I am on a Mac. Included all required frameworks and imported all .h and .m files to my project in Xcode from Ribbit's course material. Started to recreate the storyboard and associate key design elements to code.

However, when I launch the simulator after the build is successful, I have a black screen.

Would like to include screen shots, not so sure how though.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

what version of Xcode are you using? It sounds like your app doesnt know you want to use storyboards. Open your project settings (click the blue xcode icon with your project name beside it at the very top of your file navigator), in your general settings, set the main interface/storyboard to your storyboard file.

Also, I find it easier to just start from scratch and follow along in the video without downloading any of the project files from treehouse.

Hi Stone,

Thank you very much for your great insight. It worked.
