IOS7 different coding format than IOS6?

there was a chunk of code that i had to write into my app which, in the video, said it was auto generated and maybe i messed up a line of code and nothing is showing up on the ViewController.

here is the code that i had to write:

  • (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell"; UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];

    cell.textLabel.text = [self.titles objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

    return cell; }

in XCode 5 xcode does not generate the cellForRowAtIndexPath method for you. you have to write it yourself. its normal

the view controller is blank and i think that the chunk of code i wrote is the heart of it all.

is your viewController inheriting from UITableVIewController?
