Keep getting nil from dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier?

Question

I\'ve created a prototype cell with identifier \"mainViewTableCell\" in storyboard file and connected the main table view with a custom controller class named \"NTTableViewC

Answer 1

After reading @Firoze's answer I fixed my problem that had been haunting me for days.. and found another solution. I know the question has already been answered but this may help someone out.

In my case I had done some refactoring (extracted a new TableViewController), and afterwards I was getting nil cells returned from dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier.

The fix for me was to do this instead of calling alloc/init on my ViewController in didSelectRowAtIndexPath:

UIStoryboard*  sb = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"MainStoryboard"
                                              bundle:nil];

MyTableViewController* controller = [sb instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:
                                    @"MyTableViewController"];

(Then I call [self.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES]; - not the cleanest way perhaps but it works)
