I am planning to create the card game 'War' for ios just to get more practice working with Swift and have a problem. I used the main storyboard to create all the interface objects. Here is a screenshot...

So I first added an image view and set the image view size as the viewcontroller's view's size and then added a greenish background image. Then I added the labels, text fields, and button. But when I run the app all I see the green background and none of the interface objects. I am thinking it is because the interface items are behind the green background. But it does not make sense because I added the interface objects after the green background.

Anyone know what the issue is and how to solve it?
Thank you

  Honest question--why are you setting up the UI in code instead of in a storyboard or xib?

  If you're doing both, then you wind up adding each of those subviews twice.

It could be due to Image file format. You may need to change from JPG to PNG. In my case it worked.
