iOS custom cells not working

Question

I am new to iOS app development. I am trying to make a table view with custom cells but i can't achieve it. The code is crashing without any error message and it says Thread1: Program received signal Sigbart. Please help me with it.

SimpleTableCell.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface SimpleTableCell : UITableViewCell
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *nameLabel;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *prepTimeLabel;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIImageView *thumbNailImageView;

@end 

SimpleTableCell.m

 #import "SimpleTableCell.h"

@implementation SimpleTableCell
@synthesize nameLabel;
@synthesize prepTimeLabel;
@synthesize thumbNailImageView;

- (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewCellStyle)style reuseIdentifier:(NSString *)reuseIdentifier
{
    self = [super initWithStyle:style reuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier];
    if (self) {
        // Initialization code
    }
    return self;
}

- (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super setSelected:selected animated:animated];

    // Configure the view for the selected state
}

@end

SimpleTableViewController.h

 #import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface SimpleTableViewController : UIViewController<UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource>
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITableView *table;

@end

SimpleTableViewController.m

#import "SimpleTableViewController.h"
#import "SimpleTableCell.h"
@implementation SimpleTableViewController
{
    NSArray *tableData;
    NSArray *thumbnails;
    NSArray *prepTime;
}
@synthesize table;

}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
    return [tableData count];
}

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
return 1;
}

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    static NSString *simpleTableIdentifier = @"SimpleTableCell";

    SimpleTableCell *cell = (SimpleTableCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:simpleTableIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil) 
    {
        NSArray *nib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"SimpleTableCell" owner:self options:nil];
        cell = [nib objectAtIndex:0];
    } 

    cell.nameLabel.text = [tableData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
    cell.thumbNailImageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:[thumbnails objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
    cell.prepTimeLabel.text = [prepTime objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

    return cell;
}

- (void)viewDidUnload
{
    [self setTable:nil];
    [super viewDidUnload];

}

@end

Please help. Thanks

The proble lies in the cellForRowAtIndexPath section. In which you define a cell as first object nib array. But it may not be a UITableViewCell class. So you have to check whether it is a UITableViewCell class object. Try this

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    static NSString *simpleTableIdentifier = @"SimpleTableCell";

    SimpleTableCell *cell = (SimpleTableCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:simpleTableIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil) 
    {
        NSArray *nib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"SimpleTableCell" owner:nil options:nil];
        for (id eachObject in nib) {
            if ([eachObject isKindOfClass:[UITableViewCell class]]) {
                cell = eachObject;
                break;
            }
        }
    } 

    cell.nameLabel.text = [tableData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
    cell.thumbNailImageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:[thumbnails objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
    cell.prepTimeLabel.text = [prepTime objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

    return cell;
}

Custom cells need to be registered for reuse before calling dequeue....]

You can do this in the viewDidLoad

[self.tableView registerClass:[UITableViewCell class] forCellWithReuseIdentifier:@"CustomCell"];

You should double check all connections in Interface Builder. It look likes you have a error in connection between your cell or controller to xib files
