ios UiPickerView with CountryPicker class - ios

Question

Im trying to add the UiPickerView class from https://github.com/nicklockwood/CountryPicker
I want to use with storyboard in my viewController but the delegate method is never getting called although the pickerView shows the countries.
Here is what ive done:
ive imported the CountryPicker folder and Flags folder, in the storyboard controller ive added a UiPickerView and assign it to CountryPicker class.
The ViewController.h and .m files are exactly the same as the example.
i cant find what im missing.
Also i tried init the object and call the setSelectedCountry method from my ViewController.m file but its also not doing anything.
ViewController.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "CountryPicker.h"
#interface ViewController : UIViewController <CountryPickerDelegate>
#end
ViewController.m
#import "ViewController.h"
#interface ViewController ()
#end
#implementation ViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
CountryPicker *picker = [[CountryPicker alloc] init];
[picker.delegate self];
[picker setSelectedCountryCode:#"US" animated:YES];
}
- (void)countryPicker:(__unused CountryPicker *)picker didSelectCountryWithName:(NSString *)name code:(NSString *)code
{
NSLog(#"country: %#",name);
}
#end

You need to create an IBOutlet from the storyboard to your code Apple Docs
Remove the code you have in your viewDidLoad that creates a new picker.
Then for the the new IBOutlet you've created, set self as the delegate, so if your outlet was called picker your viewDidLoad should look as follows:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.picker.delegate = self;
[self.picker setSelectedCountryCode:#"US" animated:YES];
}
