You shouldn't write those square brackets.

Try this:

NSString *username = self.usernameField.text;
NSString *password = self.passwordField.text;

Ok, I took a look at the challenge. It says that username and password are properties, so you need to access them as properties of your class, not as local variables.

This should work:

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

@implementation SignupViewController

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

@end

You need to read the challenges more carefully.

You need to initialize the newUser variable using the "user" class method. You are somehow using a "newUser" method. Also, you need to access username and password as properties (as stated) not as local variables.

Try this:

- (IBAction)signup:(id)sender {
self.username = self.usernameField.text;
self.password = self.passwordField.text;
PFUser *newUser = [PFUser user]; 
newUser.username = self.username; 
newUser.password = self.password; 
}

I also noticed that you put an extra curly brace "}" in your code.

Be more careful! In the real development life, these would be errors, and your code wouldn't compile. Just like is happening with the code challenges :/

Hahahaha.

You are almost correct. You forgot the square brackets this time. This should be the line of code:

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

Hi Andres. I tried the your code as below:

import "SignupViewController.h"

import <Parse/Parse.h>

@implementation SignupViewController

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

@end

Then got another error result:

Bummer! Make sure you set both the 'username' and 'password' properties!

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Can you take a look at my second code for challenge 2?

Challenge Task 2 of 4

Next, create a new PFUser variable named 'newUser' and initialize it using the 'user' class method from PFUser. Set the 'username' and 'password' properties of this user using the properties you just set.

My code:

import "SignupViewController.h"

import <Parse/Parse.h>

@implementation SignupViewController

• (IBAction)signup:(id)sender { self.username = self.usernameField.text; self.password = self.passwordField.text; } PFUser *newUser = [PFUser newUser]; newUser.username = username; newUser.password = password; } @end

Result:

Bummer! Compilation Error! Make sure you are correctly initializing the 'newUser' variable, and check your syntax.

Haha. Thanks for the heads up. Right on cue, still stuck on #3 now

Challenge Task 3 of 4

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) {}

My code:

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

Result:

Bummer! Compilation Error! Block syntax can be tricky! Copy and paste the empty block from the instructions and check the rest of your syntax.

Hi Andres! So you knew this was coming right? Might as well finish the whole challenge why don't you?

hallenge Task 4 of 4

For now, inside the block, simply log the 'succeeded' parameter using NSLog. BOOL values are really just int values (0 or 1), so you can use the int format specifier: %d. Remember: format specifiers are placed in between the double quotes of an NSString literal, and then the values to be plugged in are specified after the NSString, separated by commas.

My code:

import "SignupViewController.h"

import <Parse/Parse.h>

@implementation SignupViewController

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

PFUser *newUser = [PFUser user]; newUser.username = self.username; newUser.password = self.password;

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

NSLog("%d",1) }

@end

Result:

Bummer! Compilation Error! Check your syntax! Follow the instructions carefully.

Thanks bud. Appreciate it. This part definitely was a challenge
