iOS Build a Diary App Using Core Data Custom UITableViewCell Custom UITableViewCell with Dynamic Height

Two strange problems after customizing cell height.

I just finished working step by step through the UITableViewCell with dynamic height video and have two problems that I don't understand when I run the simulator.

1 - Every time I create a new entry in the diary, the simulator creates two entries instead.

2 - The text for the labels (e.g. Body Label) are still present in the entry.

I'm doing this in XCode 6 so maybe there's something different.

Does anyone know how to fix these issues?

Well it's just the code that Ash uses in the video. So it appears that there are two methods that are causing the problem.

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

    static NSString *cellIdentifier = @"Cell";

    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier  forIndexPath:indexPath];

    DiaryEntry *entry = [self.fetchedResultsController objectAtIndexPath:indexPath];
    [cell configureCellForEntry:entry];
    //cell.textLabel.text = entry.body;

    NSLog(@"%@", entry);
    return cell;
}

- (CGFloat) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    DiaryEntry *entry = [self.fetchedResultsController objectAtIndexPath:indexPath];
    NSLog(@"%@", entry);
    return [EntryCell heightForEntry:entry];
}

Plus for some reason right now I'm also getting a "No visible @interface" error for configureCellForEntry"!

I'm pretty close to scrapping everything and starting over.
