OK. You'll get it buddy, fret not. Bonn you say? Well guten tag good friend. I'd say wie gehts but you have already told us. 1. Did it ever build? 2. Is the output console saying anything? 3. Any errors anywhere? 4. When it says build failed there is usually a red marker top center of xcode that can give us some clues.

it has built in the past, however it was never updating any of the changes i made to it and it wouldnt show my home screen which was supposed to be in the Buttons layout. I asked the forum beofre and they said to redownload the project and reopen it in xcode. And now i have this problem. 3 exclamation marks inside red shapes. i can send you a screenshot of what i see if you want?

OK. Post a screenshot if you can. If it was working and now isn't you must have changed something and in doing so 'broke' it. Have you updated your config data in Xcode? That is to say have you grabbed the latest configuration data from your online control panel and then saved it in xcode over the old copy?

i'm not sure how to post a screenshot on here, do you have an email i can send it to? Iwas told to delete what i had in xcode when it wasnt working last week and then redownload it, i did all that and now i have this problem.

What does it say when you click on the 3 red exclamation marks? It could be that you are not signing it properly, a file is missing that you are referencing. Do you have a drop box account? Upload the screenshot to that and post the link buddy.

What is your deployment target set to? I see you started another thread the same as this one, try to avoid that mate, just confuses people. Make sense?

OK, so you are not running Xcode Version 4.5.2 are you? I'll bet if you update Xcode the error will vanish.

I had that once. McApple is (again) right. An update of your SDK should do it. Cheers! -- Smug

Just checking the basic step first: Make sure you follow the instructions in the PDF for dragging the folders into your Xcode project. The PDF file is in the download from BuzzTouch (after you told it to package your iOS app).
