can't add the outlet from image to the ContactCell class, and also from the label to the class

I amusing Xcode 9. when I try to drag connect the image view from the storyboard to the contact cell class, I get the following error:

file:///Users/macuser/Desktop/mdetailapp/mdetailapp/Base.lproj/Main.storyboard: error: Illegal Configuration: The profileImageView1 outlet from the ContactCell to the UIImageView is invalid. Outlets cannot be connected to repeating content.

Does it happen to be a regular error or an actual fatal thread error? I might be able to help :-)

Make sure your contact cell prototype in the storyboard is set to a subclass of UITableViewCell, like UIContactCell, or whatever it is named in your project. Then try to drag the connection. Also make sure that your image view is within the prototype cell.

I made sure that contact cell is a subclass of UITableViewCell and checked that the image and labels are within the prototype cell ,and the same error persists.

Can you upload the project to Github and send me a link? I'll download the project and take a closer look.

Sounds like maybe you have a detached head in git, or else your remotes got messed up somehow. What does git status tell you?

it tells me : On branch master Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit. (use "git push" to publish your local commits)

Untracked files: (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
