{
NSString *CellIdentifier = [menuItems objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
return cell;
}
#end

Answer 1

Your cellForRowAtIndexPath... method needs to be written so the cell is populated with proper data based on the cell's section and row. Right now you don't do anything but use an empty cell.

Answer 2

You don't configure your cells. After dequeuing a cell, you have to set its title.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSString *CellIdentifier = [menuItems objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
// Get the correct array, depending on the current section.
NSArray *items = nil;
if (indexPath.section == 0) {
items = menuItems;
}
else if (indexPath.section == 1) {
items = menuItems2;
}
else if (indexPath.section == 2) {
items = dash;
}
// Get the string from the array and set the cell's title
NSString *title = items[indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text = title;
return cell;
}
