Self-Destructing Messaging App - Stage 2 Code Challenge Help Please!

Hi,

I am working on the Signing Up New Users Part 2 - PFUser Code Challenge.

Could you please help me find my mistake. The error message says: Bummer! Make sure you set both the 'username' and 'password' properties!

#import "SignupViewController.h"
#import <Parse/Parse.h>

@implementation SignupViewController

- (IBAction)signup:(id)sender {
    NSString *username = self.usernameField.text; //this is my code
    NSString *password = self.passwordField.text; //this is my code
}

@end

Thank you, Marc

Seems like you are declaring new properties username and password, pretty sure they are already exists and all you need is just assign new value, try: 

self.username

Hope it helps :) feel free to contact me @Alexbtlv

This confused me at first too. You are using existing properties. Looks like this.

#import "SignupViewController.h"
#import <Parse/Parse.h>

@implementation SignupViewController

- (IBAction)signup:(id)sender {
    self.username = self.usernameField.text;
    self.password = self.passwordField.text;
}

@end
