Game scene doesnt show

Question

My game runs the menu scene but when i press the play button and it transitions to the main scene all i can see is a gray screen.

heres my code: Myscene.h

#import <SpriteKit/SpriteKit.h>

@interface MyScene : SKScene
@property (strong, nonatomic) SKLabelNode *scoreLabel;
@property (nonatomic) NSInteger score;
@property (nonatomic) BOOL gameOver;
@property SKEmitterNode *shatter;

typedef NS_ENUM(NSInteger, SpriteType) {
    SpriteTypeBackground,
    SpriteTypeSquare
};

Myscene.m

    #import "MyScene.h"

@interface MyScene()

@property SKSpriteNode *background;
@property SKSpriteNode *square;

@end

@implementation MyScene
#define kNumberOfColors     2 //Setting total number of possible colors



-(id)initWithSize:(CGSize)size {

    if (self = [super initWithSize:size]) {
        /* Setup your scene here */
        [self runAction:[SKAction repeatActionForever: [SKAction sequence:@[[SKAction                                                                             performSelector:@selector(addSquareAndBackground) onTarget:self] ]]]];

        //Score Label
        float margin = 10;
        self.scoreLabel = [SKLabelNode labelNodeWithFontNamed:@"Chalkduster"];
        self.scoreLabel.text = @"Score: 0";
        self.scoreLabel.fontSize = [self convertFontSize:14];
        self.scoreLabel.zPosition = 4;
        self.scoreLabel.horizontalAlignmentMode = SKLabelHorizontalAlignmentModeLeft;
        self.scoreLabel.position = CGPointMake(margin, margin);
        [self addChild:self.scoreLabel];



    }
    return self;

    if (node == _square) {

            [gameOverLabel setScale:0.1];

            [self addChild:gameOverLabel];
            [gameOverLabel runAction:[SKAction scaleTo:1.0 duration:0.5]];

            self.gameOver = YES;
            return;
        }
    }


}

-(void)update:(CFTimeInterval)currentTime {
    /* Called before each frame is rendered */
    [self.scoreLabel setText:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Score: %ld", (long)self.score]];
}

@end

Before i added the menu scene it worked fine now after the addition i cant seem to get it to work.

Are you aware of what you are doing here?

[self runAction:
 [SKAction repeatActionForever:
  [SKAction sequence:@[
   [SKAction performSelector:@selector(addSquareAndBackground) onTarget:self]
  ]]]];

First of all the sequence is completely superfluous because you aren't actually sequencing multiple actions, you only have one:

[self runAction:
 [SKAction repeatActionForever:
   [SKAction performSelector:@selector(addSquareAndBackground) onTarget:self]
  ]];

And repeating a performSelector will cause the selector to run repeatedly with no delay. The performSelector action has no duration, it runs instantly. Repeating it forever will create background sprites, either one per frame or, depending on how SK interprets this, possibly even running the selector in an endless loop until the app crashes.
