Animation issue when deleting the last row of UITableView

Question

UPDATE: This is now fixed in iOS 8.0 and above. See my accepted answer for details.

I have an iOS 7 UITableView that I allow swipe-to-delete on rows. I\'m handling delet

Answer 1

my solution was to simply disable the broken animation by hiding the cell that's being deleted.

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    UITableViewCell* cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
    cell.hidden = YES;
}
