Debugger Issue

My code is (I think) identical to that of the video, but every time I try to run the program it pauses and the debugger appears. There are no syntax errors as no warning/error icons appear on the programming screen. As soon as I run it, however, various bugs appear. When I try running it, the console reads:

Assertion failure in -[UITableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:forIndexPath:], /SourceCache/UIKit_Sim/UIKit-2903.23/UITableView.m:5261

Any help/feedback would be appreciated, thank you!

did you set the cell identifier in your prototype cell in storyboard?

go to your storyboard. In your tableview select the prototype cell. in the attributes inspector set the cell Identifier as Cell then run a clean by selecting product -> clean from teh xcode menu. (sometimes storyboard changes dont go through without running a clean) then build and run your project again
