Search bar implementation not working - ios

Question

I am following Tim Roadley tutorial http://timroadley.com/2012/03/05/core-data-basics-part-7-search-bars/ trying to add a search bar to my project, but I am receiving an exception when executing my app. This is the exception:
Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: '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'.
And this is my code, updated with the tutorial code.

Any advice or help is welcome.

Answer 1

Try to correct your code in this way :
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
you should notice that:
Important: You must register a class or nib file using the
registerNib:forCellReuseIdentifier: or
registerClass:forCellReuseIdentifier: method before calling this
method.
This is different method :
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
See documentation : https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UITableView_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/instm/UITableView/dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier%3a
