Question

Semantic Issue: Incompatible pointer types initializing NewCustomCell * with an expression of type UITableViewCell *

static NSString *cellID = @"customCell";

NewCustomCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellID];

Answer 1

[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellID] returns an object with type UITableViewCell *. If you know that the cell will always be of type NewCustomCell *, then you can tell the compiler to expect that with a cast. Like so:

NewCustomCell *cell = (NewCustomCell *) [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellID];
