Solution

Genetic UITableView Extension For Loadmore.

add this UITableView + Extension in your new file

extension UITableView{

    func indicatorView() -> UIActivityIndicatorView{
        var activityIndicatorView = UIActivityIndicatorView()
        if self.tableFooterView == nil{
            let indicatorFrame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: self.bounds.width, height: 40)
            activityIndicatorView = UIActivityIndicatorView(frame: indicatorFrame)
            activityIndicatorView.isHidden = false
            activityIndicatorView.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleLeftMargin, .flexibleRightMargin]
            activityIndicatorView.isHidden = true
            self.tableFooterView = activityIndicatorView
            return activityIndicatorView
        }else{
            return activityIndicatorView
        }
    }

    func addLoading(_ indexPath:IndexPath, closure: @escaping (() -> Void)){
        indicatorView().startAnimating()
        if let lastVisibleIndexPath = self.indexPathsForVisibleRows?.last {
            if indexPath == lastVisibleIndexPath && indexPath.row == self.numberOfRows(inSection: 0) - 1 {
                DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 1) {
                    closure()
                }
            }
        }
        indicatorView().isHidden = false
    }

    func stopLoading(){
        indicatorView().stopAnimating()
        indicatorView().isHidden = true
    }
}

Now, just add following line of code in UITableViewDelegate Method willDisplay Cell in your ViewController and make sure tableView.delegate = self

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, willDisplay cell: UITableViewCell, forRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    // need to pass your indexpath then it showing your indicator at bottom 
    tableView.addLoading(indexPath) {
        // add your code here
        // append Your array and reload your tableview
        tableView.stopLoading() // stop your indicator
    }
}

Result

That's it.. Hope this helpful. Thank You
