Answer 1

Swift 4 and iOS 11

In my case, no mater what I tried, I was not able to set first responder until I tried this.

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, willDisplay cell: UITableViewCell, forRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    if cell.isKind(of: YOURTABLEVIEWCELL.self) {
        if let yourCell = cell as? YOURTABLEVIEWCELL{
            yourCell.yourUiTextField.becomeFirstResponder()
        }
    }
}

Hope this helps someone stuck with the same problem.
