Answer 1

This compiler error means your AppDelegate class is referencing the ViewController class in your project, but the ViewController isn't currently set up to be compiled and included in the final product.

To make sure the ViewController class is included in the final product, select the blue Xcode project icon in the upper left column like shown in the image below:

Then select your target in the next column over, then select the Build Phases tab, and make sure ViewController.m is included in the list along with AppDelegate.m and others like shown. To add it if it's not currently there, you can drag the icon of it in the very leftmost column and drop it into the Compile Sources table view, or click the + button at the bottom of that table view.
