cs193p assignment 4 flickr fetcher returns an empty array

Question

I am following the iTunesU lecture of stanford cs193p class, and I am on assignment 4 right now. After I entered the API key in the header file and try to log the returned array to the console, it shows that it is an empty array with nothing in it. Is the code provided not working anymore since there has been changes to the flickr API?

The FlickrFetcher class code can be accessed here: http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs193p/cgi-bin/drupal/system/files/assignments/FlickrFetcher.zip

Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

I just tried it with my Flickr key and it works. I called it like so:

NSLog(@"%@", [FlickrFetcher topPlaces]);

By the way, you are doing the Fall 2011 version of the course which is iOS 5 based. There is a new Winter 2013 version of the course which is iOS 6 based which can be found here:
