UITableViewCell throwing exception

Question

I am updating a project to iOS 8 and am running into this issue with one of my UITableViewCell implementations. Currently on Simulator and not a device and it is set to "iPhone 6".

*** Assertion failure in -[UITableViewCell _setHostsLayoutEngine:], /SourceCache/UIKit_Sim/UIKit-3318/NSLayoutConstraint_UIKitAdditions.m:2754
2014-09-15 10:43:52.890 BasketballStatTracker[10662:304085] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Must translate autoresizing mask into constraints to have _setHostsLayoutEngine:YES.'

The odd part is that I am using this Custom UITableViewCell subclass in all my other UITableViews and it is working well without any asserts.

Here is the cellForRowAtIndexPath: implementation.

MyTableCell *cell =(MyTableCell*)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil)
{
    cell =[[MyTableCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}

Here is the stack trace

Any ideas?

Answer 1

I located an errant UITableViewCell that was placed within the view hierarchy of the troubled .xib. Removing it fixed the problem.
