To display contacts in your table view, you must set up a few more things. First, you are going to need a table-view cell that displays contact information. All code for a custom table view cell should live in a UITableViewCell subclass. The design for your custom cell can be made in Interface Builder. When you make a design in Interface Builder, you can connect your code and the design using @IBOutlet. @IBOutlet is a connection between an object in the visual layout and a variable in your code.
