UITableView with static cell crashes when loading

I have a UIViewController with a table view in it. In my storyboard, I just dragged a generic table view element into this controller view, and set its content to be static cells. And I make several sections in the table view, and each section is filled with my buttons, text fields and other controls. But when I segue to this controller, it's crashed at: 

return UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, NSStringFromClass([AppDelegate class]));

Before I added the table view with static cell, there is no error. And I searched some of the similar problems, and changed the controller's super class to be UITableViewController, but I didn't implement the 

-(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section

delegate, since I think there is no need to implement that if using static cells. Does anybody know what is the problem?And how to fix that.

I solved this problem by dragging a whole UItableViewController in my story board, and copied my controls into this new view controller. It looks like dragging a table view won't work with static cell.

See raywenderlich.com/10209/my-app-crashed-now-what-part-1 - rmaddy
in fact,I have set the Exception point,but the error goes right to the above code - David Hx
So does it work when the table is in a UITAbleViewController? As far as I know, tables with static cells need to be in a UITableViewController (unless that has changed in iOS 7). - rdelmar
I'm developing iOS7 and it doesn't work when I changed to the UITableViewController as I mentioned in my post. - David Hx
You should post your code for the controller with the table view. - rdelmar

I found a nice explanation for this here

Basically, when using static cells, the table view do not have them dequewed... because they were created in interface builder. So, it appears that if you call [super tableView:tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath]; it will return it from the IB.
