I bought this book, but before using it I downloaded SDK 3.2.2. After running into the problems mentioned (and solved) in this post, and still having no joy, I downloaded the code for the exercises and looked to see the difference in the chapter 2 and what I had. The chapter 2 code, however, looked like it had never been modified as described in the book, but rather the raw code as generated by Xcode; so there was no help there.

The second point seems to be the existence of 'Outlets' and 'Actions'. Forgive me if this is a silly question, but they aren't explained very well - although I see they're in the title of Chapter 3, so perhaps reading that will lead me to enlightenment.

TL;DR - download code for chapter 2 seems wrong; posted fix for chapter 2 problem doesn't work.

I downloaded SDK 3.2.2 which screwed up the example code is Chapter 2.

I followed the links in this forum and still cannot get the btnClicked: action? to work.

Downloading the example code doesn't help at all. The view panel in IB is BLANK???

Can someone explain why my code will not work? I can click the "Click Me" button in the simulator and on my iphone and nothing happens??

HELP!

The main problem I found in this section was that the merging code did not work as described in the book and seemed very unreliable. So I made sure the code was the same as the book.

As for your button not working. Make sure the btnClicked: function is spelled correctly everywhere. In the code and also importantly in the button connecting to your code bit.

Good luck.

I think I totally missed the boat on this one (didn't get my mini until May). I have SDK 4 as well and all of the books I have tried are geared towards earlier versions of the SDK. Some of the example apps work and some do not. I will not try another one until I know it covers SDK 4. I ran in to the same thing while learning Ruby on Rails most of the books were for earlier versions and it was pretty frustrating. I can't even imagine tackling Android at this point.

I found that following the instructions in the book works better than the download. I think some of the auto-saved files have new names and so on.

I am trying to bash through this anyway and remove the parts that now don't work. This book seems to just cover the basics anyway so I think I would also need something more comprehensive too.

A version 4 book would be a godsend.

I tried most of the newer books including the latest from @press and they are all based on SDK 3 as well. I can tell you from experience you just have to go through all of the exercises for the exposure to Obj C and if they launch well that is a bonus
