XCODE can't find compiler button


Whenever I open my project I only see what is shown in this picture: How it looks for me

I can neither see the toolbar nor the compile button (play). The following picture is how it suppose to look like.

This is how it is suppose to look like

I have just started programming so I hope someone can help me with this problem.


Solution

  • What you are seeing in the first picture is Xcode opening a file. In the second picture, you have a project.

    Open the .xcodeproj file to get the second view. If you just open a file you won't get any compile buttons or anything because there are no project settings to tell Xcode how to compile.
