Weather app with Swift isn't working

    private let apiKey = "b395785aa5895487f309c052b747be89"

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
        //"43.645768, -116.340039"
        let baseURL = NSURL(string: "https://api.forecast.io/forecast/\(apiKey)")
     let forecastURL = NSURL(string: "43.645768, -116.340039", relativeToURL: baseURL)

     let weatherData = NSData.dataWithContentsOfURL(forecastURL, options: nil, error: nil)
        println(weatherData)

I have looked over this multiple times and from what I see my code to exactly the same as the teachers. I haven't touched any of the setting and I've gone over the video multiple time. If I try to run the program it runs successful but sends me to the app.delegate.swift page and sends me this highlighted

class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate { Thread 1: signal SIGABRT

Hello Christian,

I took the code you have, messed around with it and came up with this that worked,

private let apiKey = "b395785aa5895487f309c052b747be89"

let baseURL = NSURL(string: "https://api.forecast.io/forecast/\(apiKey)/")
let forecastURL = NSURL(string: "43.645768,-116.340039", relativeToURL: baseURL)

so try this out and let me know if it works for you too :).

P.S. whenever you're posting an API key don't use your actually API key because this is to be kept a secret, but then again this is just a demo app so it doesn't matter much.

Hope this helps, Kai

the space in my longitude and latitude was giving me the error. Thanks for the help.
