Getting UITableView error "unable to dequeue a cell with identifier cell"

Question

I am creating an app with a UITableViewController but I am getting the error:

'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'

I don't understand how I to find the solution and fix it.

Answer 1

You need to register the table with a cell before dequeue in viewDidLoad with xib

tableView.register(UINib(nibName: "TableCell", bundle: nil), forCellReuseIdentifier: "cell")

OR

tableView.register(TableCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "cell")

It's clear here from the crash

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'

Answer 2

As @Sh_Khan pointed out. You can register the cell in code or you can also register the reuse identifier in Storyboard, if you are using prototype cells.
