Can you post your code? It's easier to help if I can see what you got.

If you were, your app would not crash, maybe you misspelled something?

I got it. i changed the target to iPhone. if i was to make this app on iPad how would i do it, that was the problem? does it have separate code? Like IOS and OS X have separate code?

No. The code is the same. I don't know what triggered the problem because I can't see your code. Maybe the size classes were causing the issue? Who knows..

When you created your IBAction did you select, None for arguments? You have to select none, if you select something else then delete code to get rid of the arguments it want work properly.
