Notes

Describe any challenges encountered while building the app.

• Superhero images were too small because I did not realize I had to change the Estimate Size to "None".

• Had trouble with the backdrop view, it was appearing on top of the movie poster rather than the other way around.

• Experienced difficulty when trying to add constraits so Superhero screen could seem proportionate in all screens.

Notes

Describe any challenges encountered while building the app.

• After connecting the cells from main story to the cells file, I did not rename the Class which caused the app to not function well until I located and fixed the error.

• Being able to access the content within the URL properly. Specifically the posterView.

• A lot of the syntax was new so needed to become familiar in order to get it to do what I intended.
