All that comes up when I click on my icon is a black screen. I read the threads saying to restart etc and tried that with no avail. Now if I just put a URL screen (as a page not through the simple menu) the URL will come up in the simulator but no other menu or screen. So then I created a new app and followed the instruction video step by step only adding map and email and brought it into Xcode w plug in folder JUST LIKE the video and now there's a build failure. Lol the other app didn't have failures, it launched the simulator but just with the blank screen. Soooo help? Haha I can't believe I can't get past the first launch, I must be doing something so elementary wrong haha.

Sometimes is gliches and switches or deletes the input screen on you. Comments Go to your layout page and make sure the correct starting screen you want is listed under non-tabbed layout.

Now when i open it in the simulator the menu header shows up, but no menu options (i had added an email me page and a URL). There are two sections below the title for navigation but they are blank... I have gone into the simple menu and added the email and url inside of that so its linked (?). Any ideas oh wise one? :D Comments Awesome! That answered the lack of Menu.

The screen shots look like everything is in place. Anyone else have suggestions? Ryan Comments Frankly, I might try to start over from scratch. I did that with my first app as well.
