3,328 PointsspriteNodeWithImageNamed: big red X
Hi! I'm using SprikeKit to build a game but I'm having issues using the atlas, whenever I use the spriteNodeWithImageNamed: i do not get an error but when I run the app I get a big red X square where my image is suppose to be, I have imported the Sprites.atlas following the tutorial here but when I run it I just can't get my images working, any help would be greatly appreciated!
this is my code:
and this is what i get in the simulator:

Here is my app folder to show the files are in there:

Tested it in Xcode5 and last iOS production version available and it works like a charm, see https://www.dropbox.com/s/ti3hwby7b086z83/Screenshot%202014-07-10%2019.22.14.png.

3,328 PointsIt's Xcode 5 running on Yosemite, weird thing is that when I build the Space Cat app (from Build a Game with Sprite Kit tutorial) the Sprites work like a charm, but in my app they won't, I will start from scratch again and see if that fixes the issues and let you know...

Courses Plus Student 29,439 PointsAs I said, they only time that happened to me was when the image was not copied or the spelling of the name was not correct. I've only built a copy of Flappy Bird to test my Sprite Kit knowledge until now mainly because of lack of ideas and graphic skills :)

3,328 PointsI got it working! I think what I did wrong (or Apple maybe? :P) is that when I created the project I did it in Xcode6-Beta3, but since it was running really slow when compiling and running I switched back to Xcode 5... Now that I created the project on Xcode 5 everything is running smooth... Thanks for the help Robert!

Courses Plus Student 29,439 PointsNormally the "big x" appears when the images are not present in the project.
When you dragged the Sprites.atlas folder into your project did you check the "Copy files to destination folder..."?
