How to remove custom view from superview by pushing button in custom view?

I want to display my custom view when the cell of the view controller's table view is tapped in my iOS app. And I also want to dismiss the custom view by tapping a button inside the custom view.

However, while I was able to show the custom view when the cell is tapped by an user, I cannot dismiss the custom view by tapping the button inside the custom view - it's crashed by the error: unrecognized selector sent to instance....

So I wonder what is the correct way to put the button inside the custom view and connect the action to it in order to dismiss it. Here's what I did:

1. 
   

   Add @IBAction connection to the custom view's .swift file and call self.removeFromSuperview() - this makes the app crash with the error message above.

   
   


2. 
   

   Add @IBAction connection to my view controller that is called to display the custom view - this cannot be done because when I tried to create the connection, the Xcode doesn't react to the control-drag behaviour.

   
   

Also, if I understand it correctly, I cannot add the custom view to the storyboard file because the custom view is not put initially; it's instantiated by tapping the cell on runtime.

So how can I dismiss the custom view by tapping the button? Where should I write the code (i.e. custom view's .swift file or the original VC's .swift file)?
