iOS Objective-C Basics (Retired) Foundation Framework NSDictionary

I think exercise 2 is incorrectly evaluated

When I create a mutable dictionary and initialize it using the method initWithDictionary, I get a error message saying that i should be sure to use the "dictionaryWithDictionary" method, which does not exist. I've confirmed in xCode.

I'm sorry, but you are wrong. The + (instancetype)dictionaryWithDictionary: method do in fact exist. It shows up in the documentation and autocompletes in Xcode. Are you sure you're typing in the correct thing?

You're absolutely right. I think a typo was preventing autocomplete but I was able to search the documentation. Thanks for the correction.
