Answer 1

this hack is very working

var refreshWasProgramBeginning: Bool = false

override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewDidAppear(animated)

    if !refreshWasProgramBeginning {
        UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.25, animations: {
            self.tableView.contentOffset = CGPoint.init(x: 0, y: -self.refreshControl.frame.height)
        }) { (_) in
            self.refreshControl.beginRefreshing()
            self.refreshWasProgramBeginning = true
        }
    }
}
