  • 0

I’m running through the “Your Second iOS App” tutorial on Apple, and I’m on this page. If you click on the “To connect the text labels to the detail view controller’s properties . . .” section, it explains how to control-click and connect the label to the Table View Controller button in the scene bar below the canvas. When I do this it doesn’t give me an option to name the connection like the tutorial says, it just pops up with the word ‘view’ and then adds the table view to the list of referencing outlets when I control-click again.

This will obviously make things not work since the labels can’t be found by the system, how can I make these connections and am I doing something wrong or is the tutorial wrong? They seem to be using an older version of Xcode some little things haven’t been right…..I’d just like to get past it though, thanks for any help

    EDIT

    Since it is only showing view and not showing the properties in your class, you either missed the part of the first step “To customize the detail view controller header file . . .” where you added the following lines:

    @property (strong, nonatomic) BirdSighting *sighting;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *birdNameLabel;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *locationLabel;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *dateLabel;

    OR

    Under “Design the Detail Scene” you missed the last step under “To replace the default UIViewController scene with a UITableViewController scene . . .” which is:

    5. In the Custom Class section of the Identity inspector, choose BirdsDetailViewController in the Class pop-up menu.
