Suddenly my main view is blank

[okc.engineer]

Hi all,

I started an application based on an API that I downloaded, everything was working great. I made a few minor custom modifications to the code, even added a cool launch image and an icon. It was all still good. Until...

I wanted to add another view for configuring the app, and apparently I did something in my ignorance that shot everything to h*ll. When the app launches on my iPhone, the launch image comes up fine, but then goes to a blank screen. I have determined that it is the MainWindow nib that I am seeing because I can change the background color on the MainWindow and the blank screen comes up with that color. So somehow it is ignoring my original view. What did I do wrong?

Another question relating to this: In the MainWindow nib, why are there two image views, one stacked on another? The image in front is blank, the image beneath that has VIEW - Loaded from "whateverViewController". I tried deleting the blank view, but it still shows up on the app.

Read the documentation? Yeah, well, I have downloaded a boatload of PDFs from the Apple Dev site, and so far have printed more than a ream's worth of documentation, double-sided. That comes to over a thousand pages, and that's just scratching the surface. And most of that is still pretty much over my head.

Anyway, my crippling frustrations aside, I hope there is an easy answer to this so I can get past it and move on to the next debilitating discouragement.

Thanks!
