You can also do this simply by accessing the tableView delegate to force didSelectRowAtIndexPath to fire.

Programatically select a row to work with:

self.tableView.delegate!.tableView!(tableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath: indexPath!)

Objective-C:

[self.tableView.delegate tableView:self.tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:path];
