Error could not dequeue a view of kind UICollectionElementKindCell

Question

Taking first plunge with collection views and am running into this error:

Terminating app due to uncaught exception \'NSInternalInconsistencyException

Answer 1

If you are using storyboard instead of xib, here are few steps.

1. Making sure you fill the right identifier of your cell.

2. In the ColletionViewDelegate.

   func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
       let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "YourCellName", for: indexPath)as! YourCellName
       return cell            
   }
   

3. That's it. You also don't want to add registerClass:forCellWithReuseIdentifier: which will cause element nil error.
