Answer 1

If you want to select any table cell with the first click and deselect with the second, you should use this code:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView 
        didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {   

    if (self.selectedIndexPath && 
        [indexPath compare:self.selectedIndexPath] == NSOrderedSame) {

        [tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];
         self.selectedIndexPath = nil;
    } 
    else {
        self.selectedIndexPath = indexPath;
    }
}

Swift 4:

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, willSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> IndexPath? {
    let cell = tableView.cellForRow(at: indexPath)
    if cell?.isSelected == true { // check if cell has been previously selected
        tableView.deselectRow(at: indexPath, animated: true)
        return nil
    } else {
        return indexPath
    }
}

Answer 3

What I've found is that on top of setting the cell as selected, you have to let the table view know to select the row at the given index path.

// Swift 3+  

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, willDisplay cell: UITableViewCell, forRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    if appDelegate.indexPathDelegate.row == indexPath.row {
        self.tableView.selectRow(at: indexPath, animated: true, scrollPosition: .none)
        cell.setSelected(true, animated: true)
    }
}

Answer 4

Swift

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {

    // your code

    // your code

    // and use deselect row to end line of this function

    self.tableView.deselectRowAtIndexPath(indexPath, animated: true)

}

Swift 3/4

In ViewController:

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    tableView.deselectRow(at: indexPath, animated: true)
}

In Custom Cell:

override func awakeFromNib() {
    super.awakeFromNib()
    selectionStyle = .none
}
