Re: Strange app crash

Mac OS or iOS? You state there is a crash, but don't supply a crash log or tell us what type of a crash it is. How do you expect us to help you? Help us help you. On Jan 1, 2016, at 9:14 PM, SevenBits wrote: > Hi list, > > Xcode has decided not to cooperate with me. > > My latest app is cra

Re: Strange app crash

Am I correct in assuming that it's throwing an exception before it's drawn the first window? If that is the case, check your window XIB. It's possible that you have something mis-wired there. If you replace your first XIB with a placeholder, does the problem go away? On Jan 1, 2016, at 9:54

Re: enum as String

I've got a few things set up in Objective-C for getting a string value from an enum but I'm sure it's different in Swift. I can send the Objective-C ones if you think they would be helpful. On Jan 11, 2016, at 10:37 AM, Eric E. Dolecki wrote: > I have the following enum > > *enum SomeMode: St
