there seems to be a sigabart error that I am unable to identify

https://github.com/aananya27/contactsApp here's the project, I tried to follow each step but somehow am stuck with a thread1 sigabart error "libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException" "uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'unable to dequeue a cell with identifier ContactCell - must register a nib or a class for the identifier or connect a prototype cell in a storyboard'"

Hello Aananya,

You're close! The issue is you're trying to find a table cell by name "ContactCell" in ContactListController.swift, but the table cell in the storyboard does not have that identifier set.

let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "ContactCell", for: indexPath)

To resolve this, set the identifier on the table cell like this: Xcode

I hope this helps.
