UICollectionView cell.ViewWithTag returning nil for UILabel

Question

This label seems to return nil, even though I have the reuseIdentifier and tag set properly.

override func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, cell         


        

Answer 1

Try removing this line from viewDidLoad:

self.collectionView!.registerClass(UICollectionViewCell.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: reuseIdentifier)

Answer 2

Make sure you have the correct setup in your storyboard:

Check if your collectionViewCell is setup correctly:

And set the tag of your label:
