Amit Bijlani could you please help me with this? The strange thing is that I do return a cell! This is the error:

reason: 'UITableView dataSource must return a cell from tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:'

The code I use for cellForRowAtIndexPath is:

static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"userCell";
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];

    PFObject *tempObject = [users objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

    cell.text= [tempObject objectForKey:@"username"];

    return cell;

Thanks for any help at all!

Check ur implementation of tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath: Method you should be creating a cell inside that method , assigning it some values and at the end of the method make sure u have returned the cell for example 

UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"Cell" forIndexPath:indexPath];    
cell.textLabel.text = @"some text";
//return cell at the end
return cell;

Adham Gad could you please help me? I do a very similar thing to what you said to do but I retrieve the users from a Parse.com database:

 static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"userCell";
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];

    PFObject *tempObject = [users objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

    cell.text= [tempObject objectForKey:@"username"];

    return cell;

Will this still work? And as you can see I do return the cell! Please, please help! Thanks for your help and any help is appreciated!

it should work ! i can't determine what's wrong with the last code u posted i think it's ok except for the cell.text change it to cell.textLabel.text and check the Ribbit app in the teamtreehouse iOS track, you will import data from parse.com and then present it in a tableview most of the time if you are asking if this is applicable then the answer is ofcourse it's ok if there is sth wrong in the last code u posted please try to post more code.
