Answer 1

Adding a delay didn't work for me (tested on iOS 8.4 and iOS 9). What did work was adding a call to -layoutIfNeeded on the selected cell, after calling -selectRowAtIndexPath:animated:scrollPosition:.

NSIndexPath *selectedIndexPath = [self.tableView indexPathForSelectedRow];
[self.tableView reloadData];
[self.tableView selectRowAtIndexPath:selectedIndexPath animated:NO scrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionNone];
[[self.tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:selectedIndexPath] layoutIfNeeded];
