iOS Parse class not created through swift code

[Ceonn]

I am experiencing an issue when I try to create a new parse class through swift. My code for creating a new class is the following:

let query = PFQuery(className: "newClass")

The issue is that a "newClass" class is not created in my Parse dashboard and I don't get an error message. And since some other code is dependent on retrieving information from this class the app does not function properly.

I have created classes through swift previously and have never run into this problem. I also know that I can create a new class directly through Parse, but that doesn't really help me since there seems to be an issue with the connection between my swift code and Parse.

Thank you in advance for any help!
