numberOfRowsInSection is causing unrecognized selector crash - ios

Question

I have a UITableView setup within my view controller to populate with the JSON data that's being returned by a function. When I load MatchCenterViewController, the app crashes and I receive the following error:
2014-06-07 15:56:23.651 Parse+Storyboard[6848:607] -[UIView tableView:numberOfRowsInSection:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0xaa29730

I've checked UIView tableView:numberOfRowsInSection that the error code refers to, and I don't see what could be causing this, as it simply tells it that there are 3 rows. Code and screenshots are below.
MatchCenterViewController.m:
#import "MatchCenterViewController.h"
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface MatchCenterViewController () <UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate>
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITableView *matchCenter;
#end
#implementation MatchCenterViewController

{
self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
if (self) {
// Custom initialization
}
return self;
}
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
return 1;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return 3;
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
NSDictionary *matchCenterDictionary= [self.matchCenterArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text = [matchCenterDictionary objectForKey:#"Title"];// title of the first object
// if([matchCenterDictionary objectForKey:#"Price"] != NULL)
// {
// cell.detailTextLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"$%#",[matchCenterDictionary objectForKey:#"Price"]];

return cell;
}

self.matchCenterArray = [[NSArray alloc] init];
//perform search with criteria just submitted

dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{

Answer 1

You're setting the UITableViewDelegate and UITableViewDataSource of your tableView to the UIView and not your MatchCenterViewController in interface builder.
UIView doesn't implement UITableViewDataSource and that's why you are getting an unrecognized selector error.

Answer 2

You need to set the delegate and dataSource to the class that implements the delegate methods. In your case, that's your MatchCenterViewController.
Also another thing I notice, you're calling the PFCloud method both on viewDidLoad and viewDidAppear. You should only do that in one place, if you want it to execute one, add it to the viewDidLoad, if you want it to execute every time the view is shown, add it to viewDidAppear.
And another small thing: You should have methods in the order from top to bottom (in your file):
dealloc (if you have one)
initializer methods (init, initWithFrame, etc.)
Other methods, the related ones grouped up, usually separated with #pragma mark.

Answer 3

You need to set MatchCenterViewController class as dataSource and delegate for your matchCenter table view.
Add following 2 lines of code in initWithNibName function
[matchCenter setDelegate:self];
[matchCenter setDataSource:self];
