Value of type 'UICollectionViewCell' has no member 'imageView'

I'm setting up a new project with a UICollectionView that displays an image. I created the ViewController and the CellViewController, just like its supposed to.

In the CellViewController the code is the following:

import UIKit

class ClubCollectionViewCell: UICollectionViewCell {
    @IBOutlet weak var imageView: UIImageView!
}

But in the ViewController when I'm setting up the image it gives me the error. Here's the code:

 override func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {


    let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: reuseIdentifier,
                                                      for: indexPath)
    // Configure the cell
    cell.backgroundColor = UIColor.black
    cell.imageView.image = UIImage(named: "pic1")
    return cell;
}

Thanks in advance..

You should cast your collectionViewCell subclass as your custom one ClubCollectionViewCell.

Use guard to check for the type of the cell, do fatalError() if it fails.

 func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {

    guard let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: reuseIdentifier,
                                                            for: indexPath) as? ClubCollectionViewCell else {
                                                                    fatalError("Wrong cell class dequeued")
    }
        // Configure the cell
        cell.backgroundColor = UIColor.black
        cell.imageView.image = UIImage(named: "pic1")
        return cell
 }
