Where is treehouse updated video to adapt this for single view template?

Guys, Again, old version of xcode in video, and this time video tutorial uses an empty application template to create tableview based app from scratch, Anyone know if treehouse posted an update anywhere on the site about how to adapt tutorial for single view app?

Why havent the vids been updated since end of 2012.. unfair to students to be frank.

I mean in no way to take away from Amit whose teaching style I very much enjoy and benefit from.

Create a single view app. Delete the view controller and the main storyboard.

Paste this into the application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method in the AppDelegate implementation (before the return YES; statement:

self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
self.window.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];

Now you have an empty app.

I have just tried this and after I dragged a table view controller over to the storyboard, the arrow (trigger) did not appear when I zoomed out. Is this going to be an issue later?

As an afterthought, maybe this info should be added to the Teacher's notes for that lesson? CC Amit Bijlani

I had the same problem with the arrow. My table view controller doesn't show the arrow and when I ran the app it says "Failed to instantiate the default view controller for UIMainStoryboardFile 'MainStoryboard' - perhaps the designated entry point is not set?"

Were you able to figure out what is the issue here?

Go to the attributes inspector of the View controller and tick the checkbox that says Initial View Controller
