Storyboard "Main", but didn't get a UITableView when using UITableViewController

Question

I have been going through this tutorial, "Option 2: Prototype Cells" I implimented all the steps, but, the following code gives me an error:

@interface MTViewController : UITableViewController  @end 

the error message is:

instantiated view controller with identifier "UIViewController-BYZ-38-t0r" from storyboard "Main", but didn't get a UITableView.'

Here is what I tried - I changed UITableViewController to UIViewController and the error went away. But, the tableview remains blank. Can you tell me why this is ?

Answer 1

In your storyboard, you need to make the root view of your UITableViewController a UITableView.
