I am getting an error - nib must contain exactly one top level object which must be a UITableViewCell instance'"

Question

I am using a custom cell in my tableView but when I run i get the error which I have mentioned in my question.

 self.districtTableView.register(UINib(nibName: "PlaceCollectionViewCell", bundle: nil), forCellReuseIdentifier: "placeCell")   func textFieldShouldBeginEditing(_ textField: UITextField) -> Bool {     return false }  func textFieldDidEndEditing(_ textField: UITextField) {     // TODO: Your app can do something when textField finishes editing      print("The textField ended editing. Do something based on app requirements.") }  func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {      return 1 }  func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {     return districts.count }  func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {      let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "placeCell") as! PlaceTableViewCell     // Set text from the data model     cell.distLabel.text = districts[indexPath.row]     cell.textLabel?.font = distTextField.font     return cell 

How can I get rid of this error. I have used different methods for registering a cell in table view. But it does not works. please help

Answer 1

I have added Tap gestures from Interface builder (XIB).

Remove that will solve this issue.

You have to add gesture in xib by programatically way

Answer 2

In my case it was a view which was added outside the cell. It shouldn't have been there
