How to add a custom class to my UITableViewController?

In my current app I have 24 different views, each view has it's own ViewController. As the time has passed I have come to the realization that changing them to a TableViewController would not only function better, it would also in fact look better.

Typically the way that I have been assigning the custom classes to my views has been to go in Xcode to: File > New > File > Objective-C Class.

I make the class and make sure that it is a subclass of UIViewController. After the file has been created I click on my View Controller in the Storyboard file, go to the inspector and set the custom class to be myNewViewController, all done!

But this is not the case when working with a UITableView, I was able to add a table view in the storyboard file, customize it / add the sections / cells, etc, but when I would like to assign a new class that I have created following the steps mentioned above, except this time I subclass from UITableViewController

I get the following warning: enter image description here

With this being the incomplete code:

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
#warning Potentially incomplete method implementation.
    // Return the number of sections.
    return 0;
}

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
#warning Incomplete method implementation.
    // Return the number of rows in the section.
    return 0;
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];

    // Configure the cell...

    return cell;
}

Additionally, the view shows up blank in when ran on my iOS device.

I am aware that this implementation must be completed before it can properly run, but is there a specific way of this that it would link the view that I was working with and it's ViewController? This way none of this configuration is needed?

What is my next step to follow?

Thanks for the & advice!

Edit I have also attempted to set the cell identifier to "Cell", and also tried changing the values so that numberOfSections returns 5, and numberOfRowsInSection returns 2 but still no luck, app crashed and I get this in the debug log:

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'unable to dequeue a cell with identifier Cell - must register a nib or a class for the identifier or connect a prototype cell in a storyboard'

You are using static cells. You shouldn't use the data source methods.
