Editing A Label By Tag iOS

I've looked for this everywhere and I can't find a solution...

My Goal: I'm trying to edit a label in my storyboard without creating an outlet specifically for that label (I have 36 labels).

Problem: I tried this basic line of code that I found on another Stack Overflow question, but it didn't succeed and I got an error...

UILabel *label = (UILabel *)[self viewWithTag:71];

Error: No visible @interface for 'ViewControllerTwo' declares the selector 'viewWithTag:'

Any help will be appreciated...

just as @Paul.s said, IBOutletCollection may be a better way. Just in case you need IBOutletCollection : 

@property (nonatomic, strong) IBOutletCollection(UILabel) NSArray *labels;

Or in Swift:

@IBOutlet var imageViews: [UIImageView]!

Change your code to

                                    |
                                    v
UILabel *label = (UILabel *)[self.view viewWithTag:71];

UIViewController does not have viewWithTag:, UIView does

viewwithTag is a method on UIView not on UIViewController. You'll probably have to call it like this:

UILabel *label = (UILabel *)[self.view viewWithTag:71];

Try using self.view:

UILabel *label = (UILabel *)[self.view viewWithTag:71];
