Help? I am running the app on the iPhone 5.1 simulator on Xcode.

Did you drag your plugin's folder into your Xcode project after downloading the source code? I'll assume you're using Xcode? There's a video in BTU showing how to do this, it's also explained in the PDF that comes with your download. We don't make the "e-Careers" course you're referring to and don't know the content, hard to say what you're being instructed to do.

I'm doing what I can to help but I have no idea what content you're watching.... So...I'm confused with... "I have set up some tabs on my home screen menu" I'm not sure what you mean here. It's a matter of semantics I think. A "menu" is a list of rows to tap, or a grid or strip of buttons. A "tab" is along the bottom of the screen. Two completely different ideas. Apps are either TABBED apps or non-TABBED apps, can't be both. If it's a tabbed app, you'll have a home screen set for each tab. If it's not, you'll only have one home screen and no tabs along the bottom. In most cases, setting up a non-tabbed app with a menu list as the home screen is the easiest way to start. Setup a menu, make sure it's set in the Layout screen as the "Home Screen" then add items to it. Once you get that figured out (the relationship between the screens and the menus), you can start working on more advanced ideas, like tabbed apps.

Thanks for doing what you can to help, sorry I confused you. Comments I meant the buttons on the home screen I set up, the ones your tap go to a different menu or item.
