dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier never returns

Question

When I call dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier it is freezing my code and does never return any cell (or nil) I change the code from my custom class to a UITableViewCell to be sure the problem wasn't in my class, I also create a brand new empty cell to call with the identifier.

I add a log before and after the call for dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier as you can see in the screenshot the one before gets called once and the one after never.

I try to clean and build, clean the project folder, delete DerivedData, restart the computer. I can't see any exceptions or what is really holding the code.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I am not sure what happened to XCode, but, if someone find the same problem here is what I had to do.

I didn't find anything wrong with the cell (yes I was using storyboard and the identifier was set correctly) and noting was wrong with the code in the custom class as well. I even went to the point of create a secondary custom class and custom cell and it did not help, so I try to put a invalid identifier and even there XCode did not return me an error (as it should).

I had to delete my custom cell from the storyboard, as soon as I did that all start to work again, first the error that the identifier didn't exist, than the temporary one start to work, than I recreate the original one (exactly as before) and all start to work again.

Very overkill but worked for me. Thanks for all the help!

It is expressed that you are printing println("return dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier"), but can't see your return cell code at the end of your function, that must conform to your function expectation.
