I\'m getting the following error from Xcode:

Couldn\'t compile connection:  =&

I was creating a popover segue and I was getting the same error.

What I did was follow @matt's answer by not putting it on a cell, which is logical now that he explained it!

Instead, I put the TableView as the anchor and it worked fine.

Hope that helps those in the future.

Answer 2

The problem is that this is a prototype cell. It is meaningless to have an outlet to something in it, because it isn't a real cell: it's a model for what might be dozens or hundreds of cells, and which one would the outlet point to in that case?
