Found the problem, I was supposed to add as! ItemTableViewCell at the end of the let cell line.

@robnotyou I think this is the code you're referring to that might be helpful. It's in a file called ItemTableViewCell.swift import UIKit class ItemTableViewCell: UITableViewCell { @IBOutlet weak var nameLabel: UILabel! override func awakeFromNib() { super.awakeFromNib() } override func setSelected(_ selected: Bool, animated: Bool) { super.setSelected(selected, animated: animated) } }
