What's going wrong here? There is a mistake somewhere in this code, but I can't find it.

The Treehouse compiler won't open and let me see the error. This code seems to be working in X code, but it doesn't pass the coding challenge.

/* Add task 1 code here */
NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString: @"http://teamtreehouse.com"];
NSURLRequest *request = [[NSURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:url];
NSURLSession *session = [NSURLSession sharedSession];

/* Add task 2 code below */
NSURLSessionDownloadTask *task = [session downloadTaskWithRequest:request completionHandler:^(NSURL * _Nullable location, NSURLResponse * _Nullable response, NSError * _Nullable error) {

        NSLog(@"Response:%@", response);
    }];

    [task resume];

Try this:

/* Add task 1 code here */
NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString : @"http://teamtreehouse.com"];

NSURLRequest *request = [[NSURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:url];
NSURLSession *session = [NSURLSession sharedSession];

/* Add task 2 code below */


NSURLSessionDownloadTask *task;

task = [session downloadTaskWithRequest:request completionHandler:^(NSURL *location,NSURLResponse *response, NSError *error){
NSLog(@"Response: %@", response);
}];

[task resume];

Thanks Cindy,

This one tripped me up a bit too, as I was doing it all with one line of code. It's weird the code checker won't take 

NSURLSessionDownloadTask *task = [session downloadTaskWithRequest:request completionHandler:^(NSURL *location,NSURLResponse *response, NSError *error){
NSLog(@"Response: %@", response);
}];

[task resume];

as being correct. It's the same code, just on one line. ?? Gabe Nadel
