Trying to import a custom UITableViewCell keeps giving me a file not found lexical preprocessor error in Objective-C

Question

Trying to import a custom UITableViewCell and it keeps giving me a file not found lexical preprocessor error. I can't figure it out.

ProductCell.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>


@interface ProductCell : UITableViewCell {
    IBOutlet UILabel *descript;
    IBOutlet UILabel *productCode;
    IBOutlet UIImageView *prodImage;
}

@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UILabel *descript;
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UILabel *productCode;
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIImageView *prodImage;

@end

ProductCell.m

#import "ProductCell.h"


@implementation ProductCell

@synthesize descript;
@synthesize productCode;
@synthesize prodImage;

- (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewCellStyle)style reuseIdentifier:(NSString *)reuseIdentifier
{
    self = [super initWithStyle:style reuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier];
    if (self) {
        // Initialization code
    }
    return self;
}

- (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super setSelected:selected animated:animated];

    // Configure the view for the selected state
}

- (void)dealloc
{
    [super dealloc];
}

@end

In my UItableviewcontroller.h file I've tried to import as @class and not doesnt seem to make a difference. and in my implementation file i simply

#import "ProductCell.h"

why is this? what basic step am I missing. Importing it in implementation file should solve my issue. Tried cleaning project

Answer 1

Renaming the header file to something else and renaming it back to its original name did solve the problem for me.

Answer 2

This appears to be an XCode4 bug. Despite the fact that the compiler shows an error, if you try running the project, it should work.
