I am getting an error on iOS Apprentice page 192. I have provided a snap shot of the error as well as the code. It appears its the

func configureText(for cell: UITableViewCell, with item: ChecklistItem) {  
let label = cell.viewWithTag(1000) as! UILabel  
label.text = item.text  
}

Indicates you cannot downcast as UILabel?? Please advise on this as I’m following the book, unless something changed? I appreciate any help anyone has. Thank you!

The issue is not the downcasting but probably the fact that you have the tag value of 1000 set on the wrong view 🙂 The view returned by the call to `cell.viewWithTag(1000)` appears to be a `UITableViewCell` instead of a `UILabel`. You would have to check your storyboard and make sure that you have the tag set correctly on the label and not on the table view cell containing the label and then you should be good to go.
