03. Launching the Maze App

At this point, we assume you have finished installing Xcode. If you have not, then you will have difficulty following the upcoming content. Also, before continuing forward, you will need to download the project files for Maze app. Once you've completed both those items, then join us in launching the Maze app.

Having issues with your download or installation? Ask for help on the forum.

After downloading the project files for the Maze app, you should see a directory structure resembling the following:

• ios-nd-robot-maze-1-master
  • Maze-ComplexRobot
  • Maze-SimpleRobot
  • Maze-Template

To get things started, we will be using the project in the Maze-SimpleRobot directory. So when Jarrod refers to the Maze project in the following video, use the project in Maze-SimpleRobot directory.

Before continuing, have you successfully opened and launched the Maze app?

QUESTION:

When we clicked the “Run” button, it launched the Maze app in the iOS Simulator. How do you think the iOS Simulator knows how to run the Maze app? Isn't the Maze app just a bunch of files and code?
