Swift xcode error: Thread 1 signal SIGABRT "instantiated view controller from storyboard but didn't get a UITableView

Question

The purpose of this project is to create a login and account activation screen that can move between each other by clicking the buttons which will activate the segues that move to and from each screen.

Here is the error:

Answer 1

The CreateAccountPage inherits from UITableViewController. UITableViewController (and its subclasses) must have a UITableView for its view property.

Your problem can be resolved by changing the CreateAccountPage to inherit from a regular UIViewController rather than a UITableViewController.
