iOS 8 UITableView separator inset 0 not working

Question

I have an app where the UITableView\'s separator inset is set to custom values - Right 0, Left 0. This works perfectly in iOS 7.

Answer 1

Simple solution in Swift for iOS 8 with a custom UITableViewCell

override func awakeFromNib() {
    super.awakeFromNib()

    self.layoutMargins = UIEdgeInsetsZero
    self.separatorInset = UIEdgeInsetsZero
}

In this way you are setting layoutMargin and separatorInset just one time instead of doing it for each willDisplayCell as most of the above answers suggest.

If you are using a custom UITableViewCell this is the correct place to do it. Otherwise you should do it in tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath.

Just another hint: you don't need to set preservesSuperviewLayoutMargins = false because default value is already NO!
