Hello!
I have a common problem (google didn’t help me alas):

Warning: Attempt to present <UIAlertController: …> on <BullsEyes.ViewController: …> whose view is not in the window hierarchy!

What is strange is that when I did the “knock-knock” button, it worked but not “hit me!”.
Can you help me?

@robmn Do you still have issues with this?

Sorry, no :c

Here’s the code:

@IBAction func showAlert() {

    let message = "The value of the slider is now: \(currentValue)"
    
    let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Hello, World!", message: message, preferredStyle: .alert)
    
    let action = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .default, handler: nil)
    
    alert.addAction(action)
    
    present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

I’ve tried to change the order of the “present”-statement but alas…

For me the issue was that I’ve left print("Hello!") from previous part. I have no idea why, but deleting it fixed everything.
