I don't know the page number, as I'm reading the digital version. In Chapter 7, "Scroll Views", there's a section titled "No Internal Autolayout". The final line of the first paragraph is: "Horizontally, it has structs externally." It should say "struts" (as in "springs and struts"), not "structs".

Note from the Author or Editor:
Excellent, thanks. Fixed in next reprint.

Chapter 23, "Basic Networking", section: Downloading Table View Data

There's an implementation of tableView(prefetchRowsAt:) here that loops through each indexPath and decides if it needs to fetch the image.

If it finds that an item already has an image, or a URL task, then the guard's at the top of the method return from the method completely.

The guards should continue instead of returning, because some of the index paths later in the array might need downloading, even if the current index path is okay.

Note from the Author or Editor:
I agree, I think that’s a very sensible change. Thank you!

Section "Search Bar in Navigator"

Fails to mention in IOS12 the table view property "definesPresentationContext" must be true for search box to appear in Navigation controller. The author's downloaded example "c21p732searchableTable4" does set the property true on line 100. Curiously, the comment for the line says "Does not matter", which is incorrect for IOS 12. Setting it to false causes the Search box to disappear when it receives first character of input. I am using XCode 10.3 and Simulator 10.3 for Iphone XR.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Possibly what this erratum says is true, but I've cut all mention of definesPresentationContext in the next edition because the runtime now sets it for you anyway.
