Answer 1

Simply add method:

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, editActionsForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> [UITableViewRowAction]? {
    let delete = UITableViewRowAction(style: UITableViewRowActionStyle.destructive, title: "Delete") { (action, indexPath) in
        self.arrayFruit.remove(at: indexPath.row)
        self.tblList.reloadData()
    }

    let edit = UITableViewRowAction(style: UITableViewRowActionStyle.normal, title: "Edit") { (action, indexpath) in

        let alert = UIAlertController(title: "FruitApp", message: "Enter Fuit Name", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.alert)
        alert.addTextField(configurationHandler: { (textField) in
            textField.placeholder = "Enter new fruit name"
        })
        alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Update", style: UIAlertActionStyle.default, handler: { [weak alert](_) in
            let textField = alert?.textFields![0]
            self.arrayFruit[indexPath.row] = (textField?.text!)!
            self.tblList.reloadData()
        }))

        self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
    edit.backgroundColor = UIColor.blue
    return [delete,edit]
}

Add these two functions:

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, canEditRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> Bool {
    return true
}

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, commitEditingStyle editingStyle: UITableViewCellEditingStyle, forRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
    if (editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyle.Delete) {
        // handle delete (by removing the data from your array and updating the tableview)
    }
}

Swift 3.0:

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, canEditRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> Bool {
    return true
}

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, commit editingStyle: UITableViewCellEditingStyle, forRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    if (editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyle.delete) {
        // handle delete (by removing the data from your array and updating the tableview)
    }
}

Swift 4.2

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, canEditRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> Bool {
    return true
}

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, commit editingStyle: UITableViewCell.EditingStyle, forRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    if (editingStyle == .delete) {
        // handle delete (by removing the data from your array and updating the tableview)
    }
}

Answer 3

just add these assuming your data array is 'data'

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, canEditRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> Bool {
    return true
}

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, commit editingStyle: UITableViewCellEditingStyle, forRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    if (editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyle.delete) {
        // handle delete (by removing the data from your array and updating the tableview)
        if let tv=table
        {



            data.remove(at: indexPath.row)
            tv.deleteRows(at: [indexPath], with: .fade)



        }
    }
}

Swift 3 with custom title supported

        func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, canEditRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> Bool {
                return true
            }

    //If you want to change title
            func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, titleForDeleteConfirmationButtonForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> String? {
                return "Cancel"
            }

            func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, commit editingStyle: UITableViewCellEditingStyle, forRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
                if (editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyle.delete) {
// you might want to delete the item at the array first before calling this function
                    tableView.deleteRows(at: indexPath, with: .automatic)
                }
            }
