iOS 8 UITableView separator inset 0 not working

Question

I have an app where the UITableView\'s separator inset is set to custom values - Right 0, Left 0. This works perfectly in iOS 7.

Answer 1

Swift 3.0 example:

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, willDisplay cell: UITableViewCell, forRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    // removing seperator inset
    if cell.responds(to: #selector(setter: UITableViewCell.separatorInset)) {
        cell.separatorInset = .zero
    }
    // prevent the cell from inheriting the tableView's margin settings
    if cell.responds(to: #selector(setter: UIView.preservesSuperviewLayoutMargins)) {
        cell.preservesSuperviewLayoutMargins = false
    }
    // explicitly setting cell's layout margins
    if cell.responds(to: #selector(setter: UITableViewCell.layoutMargins)) {
        cell.layoutMargins = .zero
    }
}
