When I register the class in viewDidLoad() it does not get registered and I get the runtime error - could not dequeue a view of kind: UICollectionElementKindCell with identifier Cell - must register a nib or a class for the identifier .... So I registered the class in viewWillAppear() and it works fine. Just wondering if anyone encountered this problem? And if registering it in the viewWillAppear() is fine?
-(void)viewDidLoad:(BOOL)animated{
[super viewDidLoad];
}
-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated{
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
self.collectionView.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[self.collectionView registerClass:[UICollectionViewCell class] forCellWithReuseIdentifier:@"photo"];
}

self.collectionView.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[self.collectionView registerClass:[SPPhotoCell class] forCellWithReuseIdentifier:@"photo"];

As for the class name I am in the second video now and have pointed it to the custom class, but that does not have anything to do with my Q, i hope.

42,016 PointsMake sure you are using the same reuse identifier in cellForItemAtIndexPath. You need to use "photo" as the reuse identfier
