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

I know this is an old one, but I've experienced the same problem and wanted to share what fixed it for me.

In my case, I've declared a global identifier

let identifier = "CollectionViewCell"

and had to use self right before using it:

collectionView.dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier(self.identifier, forIndexPath: indexPath) as! CollectionViewCell

Hope this helps someone :)
