Answer 1

Swift 3.x

if you want to do it at the 'cell-creation', you can do it like this

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    let cell = TableViewCell()
    let item = items[indexPath.row]

    cell.textLabel?.text    = item.title

    if (item.checked) {
        tableView.selectRow(at: indexPath, animated: false, scrollPosition: .none)
    }

    return cell
}
