Changing backgroundcolor of a view seems hard?

I want to change the background color of a view within the view controller. Selecting the view and opening the attributes inspector isn't showing that much. Should have an option here for the background.

enter image description here

Tried coding it within the (void)viewDidLoad{} with: self.view.backgroundColor = [NSColor blueColor]; That isn't working either, no object of NSView.

What am I doing wrong? I read that the coding problem probably has something to with the newer version of Xcode. coding issue

This is already questioned and answered in Best way to change the background color for an NSView

Here the code for OS X

[self.view setWantsLayer:YES];
[self.view.layer setBackgroundColor:[[NSColor whiteColor] CGColor]];
