Answer 1

Easiest fix is to just change it to FontCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier]; As with your current code, you'll have to check to be sure cell is not nil if you do this method.

Alternately, you can register a UINib or Class at the table level that is tied to @"FontCell"

For example (up in viewDidLoad):

[self.tableView registerClass: [FontCell class] forCellReuseIdentifier:@"FontCell"];

Then you can do

FontCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"FontCell" forIndexPath:indexPath];

The nice thing with this method is that you know that your cell will never be nil, so you can just immediately begin modifying it.

Answer 2

If using a tableview (not a table view controller) as I was, there are not cells that appear by default.

In the storyboard select the tableview Open the Attributes inspector Change prototype cells from 0 to 1 Select the newly displayed table cell In the Attributes inspector set the Identitifier to "FontCell"

Answer 3

You're using the dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:forIndexPath: method. The documentation for that method says this:

You must register a class or nib file using the registerNib:forCellReuseIdentifier: or registerClass:forCellReuseIdentifier: method before calling this method.

So here

[self.tableView registerClass: [FontCell class] forReuseIdentifier: @"FontCell"];

I also had such a problem, and the solution I found is:

Go to the Project Navigator and select “ViewController.h”. Append

 <UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource>

after “UIViewController”.
