Screencast 2 Blank Screen

So I’ve followed the tutorial upto 12:32, and when I run the app at this point I get a blank screeen. Any ideas? I’ve redone the tutorial 3 times so far to this point to try to figure out what’s wrong, but I still get a blank screen.

Set a break point in applicationDidFinishLaunching: and make sure navigationController is not nil. I susspect that since you are getting a blank view that is the problem. If its not nil, check to see if the navigatinController’s view is nil.

Good luck and let us know when you get it working!

I’ve tried everything and can’t get this to work. At this point I’ve tried this example literally a dozen time, and have spent all day and most of the night to try to get it to work, and nothing. Every time that I do the project the view is blank. I need to understand why this doesn’t work incase this comes up in the future. I’ve done everything that you’ve suggested and again just a blank screen. I’ve cut and pasted from your finished file and all I get is the same.

To narrow it down, everything works up until I add this code:

navController.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObject:recipesController];

Another question. When making connection in Ingredients.xib in Interface builder, does it matter what order that it’s done? Can you make the connection from Table View to File’s Owner first. I ask, because it won’t let me make the connection from File’s owner to View first. i make the connection from Table View FIRST and then from File’s Owner to View.

Hm if it wont let you connect from the file’s owner to the view it seems that the class of the files owner must be wrong, order should not matter.

So when that line above is executing you have checked to make sure that navController and recipesController are not nil?

I had this same problem. The issue in my case was that I didn’t save the changes from the interface builder. I closed interface builder out and it asked if I wanted to save changes. After I had it save the changes it worked.
