Custom View not updating

So I'm following this tutorial to create a custom UITableCellView using the interface builder. I created a xib file with a UITableViewCell that has a custom UITableViewCell as its class. In said class I have -

@interface SearchResultCell : UITableViewCell
@property(strong,nonatomic)IBOutlet UIImageView *restaurantImage;
@property(strong,nonatomic)IBOutlet UILabel *restaurantName;
@end

In the interface builder file for the custom UITableViewCell, in the connections menu I dragged restaurantImage to the UIImageView in the custom UITableViewCell, and the label to the restaurantName.

Then in the place where my table is drawn I do this -

    -(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
        cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    SearchResultCell *cell = [self.resultTable dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellTableIdentifier];
    NSDictionary *rowData = self.resultsTuples[indexPath.row];
    NSString* restaurantTitle = rowData[@"$element"][@"Title"];
    cell.restaurantName.text = restaurantTitle;
    return cell;
}

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    UINib *nib = [UINib nibWithNibName:@"SearchResultCell"
                                bundle:nil];
    [self.resultTable registerNib:nib forCellReuseIdentifier:CellTableIdentifier];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}

Doing cell.restaurantName.text = restaurantTitle doesn't result in anything. However, doing cell.textLabel.text = restaurantTitle does work.

Why is my label not updating?

The cells may not be the correct height to show your custom label. Since you made the cells 245 points high in the xib, you should implement tableView:heightForRowAtIndexPath:, and return 245.

  1. Are you do this?

    @synthesize restaurantImage;
@synthesize restaurantName;

  2. After that, in your code:

    restaurantName = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:yourRestaurantNameFrame];
//other attribute
[self.contentView addSubview:restaurantName];
