Bug on "Develop apps for iOS" tutorial

Hi, I asked to my students to use the tutorial in the subject that is the one proposed ad "first tutorial" to get confident to develop app.

All of them were not able to see the "todo list" with different colors has showed here: https://developer.apple.com/tutorials/app-dev-training/displaying-data-in-a-list

Since it was not just one case, but 10+ students (and me too) were not able to get the colours, I think that there is a bug in the code proposed by the tutorial.

Could you please take a look on the tutorial and see what is wrong?

Thanks, M

If I remember well, the problem is that, at this step in tutorial, colours are not yet defined in Assets.

They are defined later, as you can see in the final project.

Thanks, it worked.

I was wondering why, in the tutorial, it is not clearly explained that you must download the project files.

Moreover, the tutorial start with this sentence: "Follow the steps below to get started with your new project, or open the finished project and explore the code on your own." but if a developer start with a new project, the colours are non defined and you obtain something different with respect to what the tutorial shows.

I suggest to change that sentence.

Thanks again Claude31!

You're right. I did face the problem at the time I tried the tutorial.

You could file a bug report (but probably limited effect).

In any case, wish your students na good continuation. ANd don't forget to close the thread by marking the correct answer.
