Treehouse TeacherHi Maximilian,
That means that one of the prototype cells in one of your table view controllers in your Storyboard is missing a reuse identifier. Hopefully this picture will help explain it better than this sentence:
Make sure the value you type in the Identifier field matches what you have in this line in cellForRowAtIndexPath:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";

Treehouse Guest TeacherThe table view cell needs an identifier which is specified in the storyboard. This is taught in the "How to Build a Blog Reader app". If you have not gone through that course then I'd suggest that you take the previous two courses before you attempt at taking the "Build a Self-Destructing message" app. Each course builds upon the other and without having gone through them in succession it will not make a lot of sense if you have no experience with iOS development.
