Master View doesn't appear as specified in storyboard

Question

I'm having an issue with my Master View controller not appearing as specified by my storyboard.

By searching on this (awesome) site, I learned to check into my numberOfSectionsInTableView and tableView:numberOfRowsInSection: methods. I believe my issue is that tableView:numberOfRowsInSection: is returning 'int 0'.

Any help would be much appreciated.

My MasterViewController.m:

#import "ParentMasterViewController.h"
#import "ParentDetailViewController.h"
#import "NewEventDataController.h"
#import "NewEvent.h"

@interface ParentMasterViewController ()
- (void)configureCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell atIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;
@end

@implementation ParentMasterViewController

- (void)awakeFromNib
{
    [super awakeFromNib];

    self.dataController = [[NewEventDataController alloc] init];
}

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.

}

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

#pragma mark - Table View

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
    return [[self.fetchedResultsController sections] count];
}

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{   
    return [self.dataController countOfList];

}

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{

    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";

    static NSDateFormatter *formatter = nil;

    if (formatter == nil)
    {
        formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];

        [formatter setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterShortStyle];
    }

    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier]; // forIndexPath:indexPath];

    // note: Add some code like this to create a new cell if there are none to reuse
    if (cell == nil)
    {
        cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    }

    NewEvent *eventAtIndex = [self.dataController objectInListAtIndex:indexPath.row];

    [[cell textLabel] setText:eventAtIndex.event];

    [[cell detailTextLabel] setText:[formatter stringFromDate:(NSDate *)eventAtIndex.date]];

    return cell;
}

In addition, my NewEventDataController.m:

#import "NewEventDataController.h"
#import "NewEvent.h"

@interface NewEventDataController ()

- (void)initializeDefaultDataList;

@end

@implementation NewEventDataController

- (void)initializeDefaultDataList
{
    NSMutableArray *eventList = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

    self.masterNewEventList = eventList;

    NewEvent *event;

    NSDate *today = [NSDate date];

    event = [[NewEvent alloc] initWithName:@"Event" date:today];

    [self addNewEventWithEvent:event];
}

- (void)setMasterNewEventList:(NSMutableArray *)newList
{
    if (_masterNewEventList != newList)
        _masterNewEventList = [newList mutableCopy];
}

- (id)init
{
    if (self = [super init])
    {
        [self initializeDefaultDataList];

        return self;
    }

    return nil;
}

- (NSUInteger)countOfList
{
    return [self.masterNewEventList count];
}

- (NewEvent *)objectInListAtIndex:(NSUInteger)theIndex
{
    return [self.masterNewEventList objectAtIndex:theIndex];
}

- (void)addNewEventWithEvent:(NewEvent *)event
{
    [self.masterNewEventList addObject:event];
}

@end

Thanks in advance for taking a look.

Refer: Table View Programming Guide

If I am not interpreting wrong than you have copied this code from somewhere and forgot to change implementation of this method. Change it to have one section for every row or comment out the whole method:

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
    return 1;
}
