Disclaimer - this worked for me at the time under my specific circumstances. It is not guaranteed to work, it appears to no longer work, and I now advise you subclass UITableViewCell.

Came across this post when looking to set the UITableView.separatorColor differently across groups/sections in a grouped UITableView.

You don't necessarily need to subclass UITableViewCell. You can try setting tableView.separatorColor on each call to tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:.

For example, if you want the separator to be visible with the default color in the first section, visible in the first row/cell of the second section, and invisible in the rest of the rows in the second section, you can do the following:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
switch (indexPath.section) {
    case 0:
        tableView.separatorColor = nil;
        break;
    case 1:
        switch (indexPath.row) {
            case 0:
                tableView.separatorColor = nil;
                break;
            case 1:
                tableView.separatorColor = [UIColor clearColor];
                break;
            default:
                break;
        }
        break;
    default:
        break;
}
