Views are not created programmatically

iOS Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide (6th Edi 6. Programming Views
1

After following the book, I can’t even create views programmatically with overriding viewLoad().

  1. deleted Map View on storyboard.
  2. amended MapViewController with overriding loadView() and setting view = mapView

However when I build and run the application, only Convert tab is showing and Map tab is not showing up at all. Please help, I can’t even follow the book any further without achieving this.

import UIKit
import MapKit

class MapViewController: UIViewController {

var mapView: MKMapView!

override func loadView() {
    mapView = MKMapView()
    view = mapView
}

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    print("MapViewController loaded its view")
}

}

This is now resolved - not that anybody replied. Apparently, I had deleted Map View Controller on storyboard, rather than Map View only.

Thanks for sharing. I struggled with this one, too. I glossed over fig 6.2 and had to go back and recreate ch.5.

Had similar problem with this one as well, followed your lead and recreated. (It works!)

This happened to me too, and the suggested fix worked.

I had the same experience, I misread the sentence. Thanks!
