Xcode 7 iOS 9 UITableViewCell Separator Inset issue

Question

This is not a question, rather a solution to the problem I faced.

In Xcode 7, when the application is run on iOS 9 on iPad devices, the UITableViewCell

Answer 1

Up to iOS 9

In viewDidLoad

Objective-C

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    //Required for iOS 9
    if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice]systemVersion]floatValue] >= 9.0) {
        self.testTableView.cellLayoutMarginsFollowReadableWidth = NO;
    }
}

Swift

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    if #available(iOS 9.0, *) {
        tableViewDiet.cellLayoutMarginsFollowReadableWidth = false
    }
}

In TableViewDelegate methods add following code:

Objective-C

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

    // Remove seperator inset
    if ([cell respondsToSelector:@selector(setSeparatorInset:)]) {
        [cell setSeparatorInset:UIEdgeInsetsZero];
    }

    // Prevent the cell from inheriting the Table View's margin settings
    if ([cell respondsToSelector:@selector(setPreservesSuperviewLayoutMargins:)]) {
        [cell setPreservesSuperviewLayoutMargins:NO];
    }

    // Explictly set your cell's layout margins
    if ([cell respondsToSelector:@selector(setLayoutMargins:)]) {
        [cell setLayoutMargins:UIEdgeInsetsZero];
    }
}

Swift

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, willDisplayCell cell: UITableViewCell, forRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {

    // Remove seperator inset
    if cell.respondsToSelector(Selector("setSeparatorInset:")) {
        cell.separatorInset = UIEdgeInsetsZero
    }

    // Prevent the cell from inheriting the Table View's margin settings
    if cell.respondsToSelector(Selector("setPreservesSuperviewLayoutMargins:")) {
        cell.preservesSuperviewLayoutMargins = false
    }

    // Explictly set your cell's layout margins
    if cell.respondsToSelector(Selector("setLayoutMargins:")) {
        cell.layoutMargins = UIEdgeInsetsZero
    }
}
