iOS 7 TableView dequeue not working - ios

Question

I'm having a really annoying problem that I'm not sure WHY it's happening.
I have the Table view set, I have the correct Identifier in the Cell, but it still gives me "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" when I run it.
the code looks like this
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
NSDictionary *event = [self.events objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text = [event objectForKey:#"name"];
return cell;
}
Any help would be great, cause I want to rip my hair. The table is connected to that class, and then Cell has that #"Cell" Identifier

Answer 1

Re-check all 4 steps
STEP 1:
Your cellForRowAtIndexPath should look like this
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:nil];
}
NSDictionary *event = [self.events objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text = [event objectForKey:#"name"];
return cell;
}
STEP 2: Your "ViewController.m" File should look like this
#import "ViewController.h"
#interface ViewController ()<UITableViewDataSource,UITableViewDelegate>
#end
STEP 3:
PLEASE CHECK - Click on view controller move to Connection inspector - See if any other unwanted connections are present in this inspector.
STEP 4: Tableview cell attribute inspector should like this]

Answer 2

Right, you need to register a cell for reuse. This can be done programmatically after you've created your table view like this:
static NSString *cellIdentifier = #"Cell";
[tableView registerClass:[UITableViewCell class] forCellReuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
Or this can also be done in Interface Builder by selecting the cell and navigating to the attributes inspector and changing the cell's id.

Answer 3

Instead of:
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
Try:
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if that does not work after
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
add:
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:nil];
}

Answer 4

You are not checking for cell is allocate or not.. You can try below code..
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
// add a placeholder cell while waiting on table data
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:nil] autorelease];
}
}

Answer 5

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSString *CellIdentifier = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"cell %d",indexPath.row];
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
cell = nil;
if (cell == nil)
{
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
NSDictionary *event = [self.events objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text = [event objectForKey:#"name"];
}
return cell;
}

In the Document Outline, verify that your prototype UITableViewCell is a child of the UITableView.
In the Attribute Inspector, verify that your Cell Identifier and Cell Style are properly set in storyboard:
In the Identity Inspector, verify that you have the class set to UITableViewCell:
