Swift - could not dequeue a view of kind: UICollectionElementKindCell with identifier
Solution 1
After taking a look at your exception:
2015-07-23 16:16:09.754 XXXXX[24780:465607] * Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'could not dequeue a view of kind: UICollectionElementKindCell with identifier CollectionViewCell - must register a nib or a class for the identifier or connect a prototype cell in a storyboard' * First throw call stack:
last part is most important:
must register a nib or a class for the identifier or connect a prototype cell in a storyboard
Which means that your collection view doesn't have registered your custom cell. To resolve this add following in your viewDidLoad
:
var nib = UINib(nibName: "UICollectionElementKindCell", bundle:nil)
self.collectionView.registerNib(nib, forCellReuseIdentifier: "CollectionViewCell")
Solution 2
For Swift 3:
collectionView.register(YourCustomCellClass.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "cell")

I got this error message when trying to load UICollectionView.
2015-07-23 16:16:09.754 XXXXX[24780:465607] Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'could not dequeue a view of kind: UICollectionElementKindCell with identifier CollectionViewCell - must register a nib or a class for the identifier or connect a prototype cell in a storyboard'
First throw call stack:
My code
@IBOutlet var collectionView: UICollectionView! func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell { let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier("CollectionViewCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! CollectionViewCell cell.backgroundColor = UIColor.blackColor() cell.textLabel?.text = "\(indexPath.section):\(indexPath.row)" cell.imageView?.image = UIImage(named: "category") return cell }
I already declared
CollectionViewCell
in storyboard inspector but the error message still occur. -
Paul Lehn over 8 yearsThank you. my problem was that I was not registering my Nib and instead registering the class with: self.collectionView!.registerClass(customCollectionCell.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "Cell") Your code works however.
