_profileImage is not taking my code but I'm pretty sure it's right! Xcode says it is! :(

I am using

_profileImage = [UIImage imageNamed:_profileImageName];

after

_profileImageName = [friendsDict objectForKey:@"profilePicture"];

in this exercise and it's not taking. after re-creating this code exercise in Xcode it says it's right. I tried using profileImageName instead of _profileImageName before that, and Xcode changed it to have the underscore which made sense after thinking about. I don't understand. _profileImageName is a NSString, so it is just like the example in the previous video, but that it's not a local variable.... I wish you guys wouldn't switch up things like this and just ask us to re-create the video example but with different names... this is different because you are not asking to create a local variable first. confusing!

thank you!

So I refreshed my browser by accident. Afterwards, I retyped the first questions (the line above that assigns the name to _profileImageName and continued to the next (the one I was stuck on) and when I entered this same text above, it worked. Looks like the code challenge has some weird cache thing where you can't answer in different ways more than a couple times without it somehow thinking you are wrong no matter what?

all set! might be worth looking into though :P

thanks!
