What is the meaning of the “no index path for table cell being reused” message in iOS 6/7?

Question

Since starting to compile my app with iOS 6 (and since also iOS 7) I\'ve started seeing this message. I know that the way that UITableViews go about managing cells is diffe

Answer 1

For the record, I encountered this message too when running under iOS 6. It appears that some code either inherited or imported had something like this:

(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tv numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
    NSInteger rows = 0;
    if ([delegate respondsToSelector:@selector(numberOfItemsInSection:)]) {
        rows = [delegate numberOfItemsInSection:section];

        [tableView beginUpdates];
        [tableView endUpdates];
    }
}

When the beginUpdate: / endUpdate: sequence was removed, the problem magically disappeared.
