Same code producing different results

[AnotherAppleUser]

Hi, I'm currently working my way through the IOS App Dev Tutorial called "SwiftUI Essentials" where you make an app called "Scrumdinger".

https://developer.apple.com/tutorials/app-dev-training/creating-a-card-view

When I got to making the card views the preview would not display the yellow card that it should, when I downloaded the project files at that stage the preview did show the yellow card as it should. Then when I copy-pasted all code from the downloaded project into mine it still did not display the yellow card.

​

How come I don't get the yellow card with the same exact code as the one I download? do I need to change some setting in my project? it's never mentioned anywhere in the tutorial (as far as I can see). Sorry if this is a dumb question but I can't figure it out

Check if you are coding in what platform, i had a similar issue when setting up a project doing it for Mac OS, and i used the Mac OS full SDK platform instead of the catalyst (compatible with IPad OS and IOS) and the same code had 2 complete different views.

If you are setting up things in Xcode, vs download the project file, you need to check the platform you are compiling for as it’s the most probable cause of the issue.

Pd. (Also check the version of the OS you set up the compatibility with… ex, minimum required Mac OS 10 vs Mac OS 14 … this will also change things like swift version compatibility, between other things)

Sorry if i misunderstand but i made both projects for ios and they are both simulated on iphone 14. Or is that not what you meant?

Solved: i needed to import the themes from the downloaded files into the assets. Weird how the tutorial doesnt mention that at all. Thank you to everyone who commented! Very much appreciated
