Could not cast value of type 'UITableViewCell' to '(AppName).(CustomCellName)'

Question

I\'m currently trying to create a custom table view cell using xCode 6.3 swift 1.2. For some reason in the cellforRowAtIndexPath method, I just can\'t seem to set up my cell

Answer 1

In my case i'm not changed the UITableViewCell class. Initially it's DetailsTableViewCell class but i removed and added new class called TableViewCellClass. But I forget to change the cell class name here.

So once again check and change TableViewCell class name here see below screen shot

Answer 2

Swift 3 syntax:

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

Answer 3

Firstly I suggest you to recreate your cell class, using CocoaClass. I had quite similar mistake - I created a CollectionViewCell, and when I recognised my mistake, I decided to simply rename the parent class. However, compiler haven't notice any mistake, I had this error during build.

Answer 4

Keep the custom cell class name and cell id same:

   self.tableView.register(CustomCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "CustomCell")

Answer 5

Register your CustomCell in viewDidLoad() method:

self.tableView.register(CustomCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "Cell")

Answer 6

In viewDidLoad()

// register custom table view cell from nib
self.tableView.registerNib(UINib(nibName: "MessageCell", bundle: nil), forCellReuseIdentifier: "messageCell")
