Please help. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You forgot to register the XIB file. You have to register the xib file for getting rid of the crash.

In Swift 3

 let xib = UINib(nibName: "YourCustomCell", bundle: nil)
 tableView.register(xib, forCellReuseIdentifier: "Cell")

You should register the custom cell like that.

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

Set cell identifier to custom cell in xib file as:

Answer 3

IN Swift 3

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell
    {
        let cell = Bundle.main.loadNibNamed("XibName", owner: self, options: nil)?.first as! XibName

 return cell

    }
