If you don't care about this question being specifically about a tableview, and you'd just like to center one view on top of another view here's to do it:

    let horizontalConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: newView, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.CenterX, relatedBy: NSLayoutRelation.Equal, toItem: parentView, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.CenterX, multiplier: 1, constant: 0)
    parentView.addConstraint(horizontalConstraint)

    let verticalConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: newView, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.CenterY, relatedBy: NSLayoutRelation.Equal, toItem: parentView, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.CenterY, multiplier: 1, constant: 0)
    parentView.addConstraint(verticalConstraint)
