In my cellForRowAtIndexPath method, it's fetching the data from the server. If one of the values of the data is false I want to change a few values of some global objects and skip implementing this cell, but when I try returning nil the app crashes. I'm using Parse.com PFQueryTableViewController for the UITableViewController, so with the way things are set up it fetches all the data and then goes through it with calls the cellForRowAtIndexPath. I can't query objects that are true for said-value because when it's false, I need to change other things in my program.
Assertion failure in -[UITableView _configureCellForDisplay:forIndexPath:]
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'UITableView (<UITableView: 0x7e30e400; frame = (0 95; 320 424); clipsToBounds = YES; autoresize = W+H; gestureRecognizers = <NSArray: 0x7b2a94b0>; layer = <CALayer: 0x7b2a8af0>; contentOffset: {0, 0}; contentSize: {320, 1690}>) failed to obtain a cell from its dataSource (<_UIFilteredDataSource: 0x7b26d5a0>)'
You can not return nil for cellForRowAtIndexPath which will crash your app.
You can just return a cell without any elements like:
return [UITableViewCell new];
Well, in my opinion you'd better rearrange your datasource array, just pick the 'true' out into a new array. Using the new array will fix your situation.
