Unable to get TableCell to populate from custom class

Question

I'm having a strange problem with my tableview that I'm not sure how to fix. I've done this a dozen ways in a dozen programs and this is the first time it has not worked.

The issue is that I created a tableview in my application, created an object, sent the delegate and datasource to the object, referenced the object to my custom class and everything seems to work except the objectValueForTableColumn.

My object:

My table:

The output:

The other programs I have written work exactly as intended but this one just won't return a value for the table column, even though I can see with my NSLogs that it is executing the code. Instead I get the "Table View Cell" value for each cell just like you do when you don't return data.

m File:

In this simple test I'm just wanting to verify it works by making every cell say "HELLO".

My question is: can you look at this and tell me if I've missed something here?

Answer 1

I ended up opening a ticket with Apple about this and they found a glitch in the Xcode that even though it was classified as a Cell based table it got changed to a View based table instead (but still showed in IB as cell based) and thus the values never populated. They had me delete everything in that view and re-do it and then it started working as it should.

I had already tried deleting the table, but apparently that wasn't enough, I needed to also delete the view that the table was in and completly re-did my controller class for it as well.
