Question

The following is being used as the code to put a tableviewcell from a nib file into the tableview. I have taken the tableviewcell in the same nib as that of the tableview. I have tried initializing the cell in the viewdidload also but to no go.

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"identifier";
    NSLog(@"the cellidentifier is %@", CellIdentifier);
    bookmarksTableViewCell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    NSLog(@"the cell is %@", bookmarksTableViewCell);
    return bookmarksTableViewCell;
}

The error that I get is

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'UITableView dataSource must return a cell from tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:'

I have checked connections in the IB and rewired them too but the result comes up the same. When I try NSLog’ing the cell, it comes as null.

You need to do it like so

static NSString *CellIdenetifier = @"Cell";

BookMarksTableViewCell *cell = (BookMarksTableViewCell*) [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];

if(cell == nil){
   cell = [[BookMarksTableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubTitle reuseIdentifer:CellIdentifier]; 
}

Im not sure if you need that if but I thought I include it.
