UIImageView in custom UICollectionViewCell returning nil all the time

Question

OK in my story board I have made a UICollectionView with 3 cells. One of the cells I made a custom class for that obviously extends the UICollectionViewCell:

Answer 1

You should register the custom cell's nib if you are using one like this-

So it will be:

[self.collectionView registerNib:[UINib nibWithNibName:@"CustomCell" bundle:nil] forCellWithReuseIdentifier:@"CustomCellIdentifier"];

instead of:

[self.collectionView registerClass:[CustomCell class] forCellWithReuseIdentifier:@"CustomCellIdentifier"];
