unable to dequeue a cell with identifier Cell - must register a nib or a class for the identifier or connect a prototype cell in a storyboard

Question

I am fairly new to coding in general and really new to Xcode (Swift). I understand that I need to register a nib or a class but I don\'t understand \'where or how?\'.

Answer 1

I had this issue today which was solved by selecting Product -> Clean. I was so confused since my code was proper. The problem started from using command-Z too many times :)

Answer 2

Just drag a cell (as you did for TableViewController) and add in to it just by releasing the cell on TableViewController. Click on the cell and.Go to its attributes inspector and set its identifier as "Cell".Hope it works.

Don't forget you want Identifier on the Attributes Inspector.

(NOT the "Restoration ID" on the "Identity Inspector" !)

Answer 3

y my case i solved this by named it in the "Identifier" property of Table View Cell:

Don't forgot: to declare in your Class: UITableViewDataSource

 let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell", for: indexPath) as UITableViewCell

Answer 4

If you defined your cell through the Interface Builder, by placing a cell inside your UICollectionView, or UITableView :

Make sure you binded the cell with an actual class you created, and very important, that you checked "Inherit module from target"

Answer 5

I just met the same issue and see this post. For me it's because I forgot the set the identifier of cell, also as mentioned in other answers. What I want to say is that if you are using the storyboard to load custom cell we don't need to register the table view cell in code, which can cause other problems.

See this post for detail:

Custom table view cell: IBOutlet label is nil

Answer 6

I ran into this message when UITableView in the IB was moved into another subview with Cmd-C - Cmd-V.

All identifiers, delegate methods, links in the IB etc. stay intact, but exception is raised at the runtime.

The only solution is to clear all inks, related to tableview in the IB (outlet, datasource, delegate) and make them again.
