For picking an image you'll have to use UIImagePickerController, for uploading it, you'll have to convert the image into a PFFile and thus upload it.

You haven't included the Parse framework in your project correctly. This is done about 7 minutes in during Part 1 of that tutorial: [this video] It is also covered in Parse's QuickStart instructions: [LINK] All you need to do is the "Install the SDK" portion but you also need to include the Parse framework's header in your Objective-C bridging header: #import <Parse/Parse.h>

I'm currently learning Swift from a tutorial video using Xcode 6.0. The code was given to me to edit as a read through, However, the code seems to be outdated already. I'm getting syntax errors for example this line: var sceneData = NSData.dataWithContentsOfMapFiled(path!, options: .DataReadingMappedIfSafe, error: nil) // Error: extra argument 'options' in call Keep in mind that I'm very new to programming and swift is the first language I plan on learning how to write from scratch. I've looked up the differences between 6.0 and 6.1 and couldn't find a great description of all of the changes. This is the link to the tutorial I'm following.

I know its been a while but I encountered a similar problem when I was starting my first Parse application with SDK version 1.9.1. The Quickstart guide had the code below as an example as to how to save values: let testObject = PFObject(className: "TestObject") testObject["foo"] = "bar" testObject.saveInBackgroundWithBlock { (success: Bool, error: NSError?) -> Void in println("Object has been saved.") } But, the line testObject["foo"] = "bar" returned the error 'PFObject' does not have a member named 'subscript' . I was able to work around the problem by changing the line to testObject.setValue("bar", forKey: "foo") . (As suggested by a tutorial video on YouTube: [this video] )
