UITableView - Populate labels on each cell - objective-c

Question

I have the following code, which should populate a UITableView with information provided from a JSON variable. Problem is that none of the labels (TitleLabel and ReferenceLabel) populate and I'm left with the default label titles. What am I missing (this is driving me crazy)?
TableView.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#define kGETUrl #"http://localhost/RtnDBScript.php"
#interface TableViewController : UITableViewController {
NSMutableArray *json;
}
TableView.m
#import "TableViewController.h"
#import "TableViewCell.h"
#interface TableViewController ()
#end
#implementation TableViewController
- (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewStyle)style
{
self = [super initWithStyle:style];
if (self) {
}
return self;
}
- (void) getData:(NSData *) data {
json = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:kNilOptions error:nil];
[self.tableView reloadData];
}
- (void) start {
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:kGETUrl];
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
[self getData:data];
}
#pragma mark - View Lifecycle
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
[self start];
}
#pragma mark - Table view data source
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
return 1;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
// Return the number of rows in the section.
return [json count];
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"TableViewCell";
TableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[TableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
NSDictionary *info = [json objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.TitleLabel.text = [info objectForKey:#"Name"];
cell.DescriptionLabel.text = [info objectForKey:#"Message"];
return cell;
}
In the above code i get the following error 'Property 'TitleLabel' not found on object of type 'CountryTableViewCell'
cell.TitleLabel.text = [info objectForKey:#"Name"];
cell.DescriptionLabel.text = [info objectForKey:#"Message"];
TableViewCell.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface CountryTableViewCell : UITableViewCell{
}
TabelViewCell.m
#implementation CountryTableViewCell
- (void)awakeFromNib {
// Initialization code
}
- (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated {
[super setSelected:selected animated:animated];
// Configure the view for the selected state
}
Any and all help appreciated.

Can you please try?
CountryTableViewCell *cell = (CountryTableViewCell*)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
// It seems that you are using prototype cell so no need to alloc.
//if (cell == nil) {
// cell = [[CountryTableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
//}
Just make sure CellIdentifier is matching to the identifier in storyboard prototype cell.
Update:
If you can see the default text then the problem can be in binding the labels (Labels are created but not bound to outlet).
To verify put a log right after assignment of text.
NSLog([cell.TitleLabel description]);
Can you please try
cell.TitleLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[info objectForKey:#"Name"]];// Tell the system explicitly that this value will be NSString.
