I've created a simple program where a person can log in with a username and password. Every time I attempt to run it, I simply get a blank white screen. I tried changing the background color to a dark green one in hope that it would change it in the simulator too, however I get the same white screen.

This problem arose before I got that breakpoint error, it first started happening randomly in a previous project, which makes me think something is wrong with my xcode.

See my screenshot below:

I had this same issue where I saw the app briefly, and then it went to solid white. It pays to make sure you edit the "Main" storyboard, not the "LaunchScreen" storyboard when following tutorials... Maybe my embarrassing mistake will help someone else...
