    Simple equality does not work for NSString objects. Instead of 

    if ([dict objectForKey:@"status"] == @"Closed") {

    do 

    if ([[dict objectForKey:@"status"] isEqualToString:@"Closed"]) {

    That will work – but I bet you could find a more efficient way of conditionally changing color than checking a string inside cellForRowAtIndexPath. Trouble is this method will be called often. You are reusing cells, which is an efficiency measure, that’s good. But then you do something relatively expensive like a string comparison – how about adding a BOOL that could be checked instead, and setting it when you decide on the cell’s text?
