Please help.

What is the return value of initWithPhoto? The error means that the method is returning void but you are assigning that to something. initWithPhoto should look something like this:

- (id)initWithPhoto:(UIImage *)image {
    if (self = [super init]) {
         // do your tasks
    }

    return self;
}

The method should return id, not void.

Your initWithPhoto method is returning an object of type void when it should be returning an object of type id, especially if you're expecting the home variable to contain anything useful. Try editing the initWithPhoto method to return an object of type id.

Your Home class' -initWithPhoto: function is probably returning void. Initializer functions are supposed to return id.
