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

Most answers are showing separator insets and layout margins being set over a variety of methods (i.e., viewDidLayoutSubviews, willDisplayCell, etc) for cells and tableviews, but I've found that just putting these in cellForRowAtIndexPath works great. Seems like the cleanest way.

// kill insets for iOS 8
if ([[UIDevice currentDevice].systemVersion floatValue] >= 8) {
    cell.preservesSuperviewLayoutMargins = NO;
    [cell setLayoutMargins:UIEdgeInsetsZero];
}
// iOS 7 and later
if ([cell respondsToSelector:@selector(setSeparatorInset:)])
    [cell setSeparatorInset:UIEdgeInsetsZero];
