Stimulator doesn't work

Hi Matt,

Did you get this working?

Steve.

Nope doesn't work. I am trying to copy the screenshots to this, but it is not working. How do I put screenshots from desktop to this discussion? It does not always work.

I always struggle with screenshots. I can't get them to work as the Markdown says they should.

I save my screenshots files into Google drive or Dropbox and copy the links into here directly. That works.

When I save a screenshot on my iMac, I use Command+Shift+3, and it saves to my desktop automatically. So how do you save it to Google drive (I have Safari), and I am not sure which Dropbox you are talking about. Let me know how you copy them into these. Thanks!

I now have Google Drive and copied the 4 screenshots. However, I am not able to send it to you. I don't have a Twitter or Facebook account, but I use mostly email. How do I send these screenshots to you? Cant seem to make a link

Hope this works. Let me know if you are able to view the screenshots.

Hi Matt,

Before we worry about the simulator working, or otherwise, we need to get your code operating.

In your first screen shot, here, you have an error in the code. At the top of the code window, you have declared a ViewController class. At the bottom of the window, you have done the same - that's causing a conflict.

I don't know if you can just delete the second one - It is n't clear how many more lines are involved. You have declared a blueColor constant in there; I don't know where that is used; I can't see that it is in the visible code, so you may just be able to delete it.

This error may be causing the issue with your simulator; it certainly will prevent your code from running so let's get this out of the way first, then we can worry about any other issues that are present.

If the code ends pretty much where the visible code runs out, comment out the second ViewController class - every line - and try to run the code again. I don't think you need blueColor at this stage, but we shall see. Let's get rid of the duplicate class; that's what's causing your "invalid redeclaration error" and probably all the other symptoms too.

Let me know how you get on.

Steve.

Hi Steve, sorry for delay. I pretty much figured out the error codes, and fixed it, however, there are some missing codes, so stimulator doesn't completely work. Also, I had to reinstall Xcode (twice), there was probably some damaged files preventing the stimulator from running. So I'll be starting over and start from scratch all 5 sections of the "Build A Simple iPhone App with Swift 2.0" this week. Any problems, I'll let you know! Thanks.
