Storyboard warning: prototype table cells must have reuse identifiers

Question

I am getting this warning from storyboard - prototype table cells must have reuse identifiers.

Answer 1

Since double-clicking this warning can lead to a bit of a wild goose chase (the specific UITableViewCell doesn't get selected), just wanted to add that while some of these warnings will auto-resolve, some will not.

If you are confident you've tagged all your cells in Storyboard, rebuild the project - your warning may disappear (as did mine).

Answer 2

Another way is to set the Table View 'Prototype Cells' property to zero in Attributes Inspector, if you are defining the cell using a .xib programatically.

Answer 3

The identifier is the name you refer to in you .m file. When it is not filled it is not possible to reference the cell.

Answer 4

This for setting reuse identifier by programmatically

-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath (NSIndexPath*)indexPath 
{
    static NSString *cellIdentifier = @"wot";
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];

    if (!cell)
        cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle: someStyle reuseIdentifier: cellIdentifier];

    return cell;
}

To shut up the warning you have to give a name to the cell identifier :
