Swift: tableView always "found nil while unwr..." inside a viewcontroller - ios

Question

In a viewController I've connected a tableView outlet in the SB with delegates and datasource set and when I'm accessing the reference outlet in code it always crashes with the message:
fatal error: unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value
Here's the code:
#IBOutlet var resultTabView: UITableView!
Connection:
cellForRowAtIndexPath: -
I'm not even using resultsArray, though the array is returning data as seen in the logs
EDIT 2:

Answer 1

Follow the following steps,
Please remove all connection with table view and add that again.
Make sure tableViewCellIdentifier have same name set in storyboard as given in code.
remove "!" mark after AnyObject, i beleive you need this
var resultsArray = (val as? [AnyObject])
This is not table view reloading error, its parsing issue. Please check all your declare properties.If possible show all your table view data source methods.

Answer 2

Make sure the viewDidLoad method is called before attempting to access the table view. Your connection from XIB is probably not established by the time this code runs.
