I am trying to add a button ontop of a uitableview controller table view. The view controller has a navigation controller and static cells, which is why it is a uitableviewcontr
The UITableViewController will take up the whole space, so you won't be able to add the button. Refactor your UITableViewController based code into UIViewController with UITableView manually added. This way you will be able to set the size of your table view and put the button to the bottom.
