Most of the challenges I faced dealt with variable unwrapping, which are more annoying than hindering. I hope to get to the point where I know instinctively which variable I need to unwrap and how (? vs !). Another challenge I faced was getting used to function syntax, and using number/date formatters. I also found some of the the scene viewer organization tedious (placing views within views, getting elements to scroll properly, making elements appear where I wanted them to, etc.).
