iOS Build a Simple iPhone App with Swift Improving Our User Interface Adding a Pop of Color

.tintColor does not work in Swift anymore (??)

I've watched "adding a pop color" video, part of Build a Simple iPhone App with Swift, and I had to change the tint color of a button. However the .tintColor did not work after assigning it properly (according to the video).

My code:

```import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {

@IBOutlet weak var funFact: UILabel!
@IBOutlet weak var funFactButton: UIView!

let factBook = FactBook()
let colorWheel = ColorWheel()
override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
    funFact.text = factBook.randomFact()
}

override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
    super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

@IBAction func showFunFact() {

    let randomColor = colorWheel.randomColor()
    view.backgroundColor = randomColor
    funFactButton.tintColor = randomColor


    funFact.text = factBook.randomFact()


}

}```

set "canDisplayBannerAds" to "true" in the properties of your project

That does not work, sadly. I've set canDisplayBannerAds true in the ViewController (viewDidLoad function) and it does not work, besides that I had to import the iAd kit before I was able to set it to true.

try create the button from 0, maybe the type change with a upgrade.
