ios7 UITableViewCell selectionStyle won't go back to blue

Question

Xcode 5.0, iOS 7 and updating an existing app. UITableView selected row is now gray, not blue.

From what I\'ve read they changed the default selection

Answer 1

I know I'm really late to the party, but I'll offer my IOS10 work around as well. Don't touch any of your other code, but add:

-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
    cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor];
    cell.textLabel.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];

     ... whatever else you do ...
}


-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didDeselectRowAtIndexPath:(nonnull NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
    cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
    cell.textLabel.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
}
