Remove empty space before cells in UITableView

Question

I am currently trying to put a UITableView in a different location rather than at the top of my view controller. With this said, it is trying to add the header

Answer 1

As long as UITableView is not the first subview of the view controller, the empty space will not appear.

Solution: Add a hidden/clear view object (views, labels, button, etc.) as the first subview of the view controller (at the same level as the UITableView but before it).
