Grouped UITableview remove outer separator line

Question

I have a grouped UITableview which is created programatically. Also I have a cell with xib file populated in tableview programmatically as well. So far so good. But I want t

Answer 1

iOS 13, Swift 5

In the custom cell class:

override func layoutSubviews(){
    super.layoutSubviews()

    for subview in subviews where (subview != contentView && abs(subview.frame.width - frame.width) <= 0.1 && subview.frame.height < 2) {
        subview.removeFromSuperview()                           //option #1 -- remove the line completely
        //subview.frame = subview.frame.insetBy(dx: 16, dy: 0)  //option #2 -- modify the length
    }
}

I want to thank @cook for this solution, as I built on top of it. I had some issues with their solution:

1. it was removing the default highlight/selected background view, so I added an extra check on the subview's height.
2. I put my code in layoutSubviews() and haven't had a single issue.
3. I implemented an approximation between two CGFloats instead of using the equality operator ==, which sounds error-prone to me.

I added the "option #2" in the code, as that's the solution I was personally looking for (I wanted to maintain the separator, but I wanted it to be at the same indentation level as the regular cell separators, in my case a value of 16).
