I can't find the described 'Exit icon underneath the screen'. Has this been removed in xCode 6 ?

2.7 Solution

In this section you say "In these examples, we'll assume you've got a view called animatedView". How do you name a view ?

Cross-Fading Between Tracks section

In the function " - (void) fadePlayer..." the following loop:

for (int step = 0; step < fadeSteps; step++)

should be:

for (int step = 0; step <= fadeSteps; step++)

Note the <=. When testing a fade out from 1.0 to 0.0, with a fade duration of 2 seconds, the last fade step won't execute and so the volume is left at the level of (1.0 - fraction) == 0.005, when it should be 0.0.

Also the comment:

// Update the volume every 1/100 of a second

in this function is misleading. The real behaviour is to update the volume every 1/100 of "time".
