Why is there extra padding at the top of my UITableView with style UITableViewStyleGrouped in iOS7

Question

Starting in iOS7, there is additional space at the top of my UITableView\'s which have a style UITableViewStyleGrouped.

Here is an example:<

Answer 1

According to this transition guide for iOS7 by Apple, the scroll view’s content insets is automatically adjusted. The default value of automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets is set to YES.

The UIViewController which has the UITableView should set this property to NO.

self.automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = NO;

This will do the trick.

EDIT 1:

Also, one could try -

self.navigationController.navigationBar.translucent = YES;

This also removes the extra padding on the top.
