UITableView tap to deselect cell

Answer 1

I was after the same thing but @occulus' answer provided me the hint I was missing.

It made me realize the way to get this done is to allow multiple selection in the table view and manually deselect previously selected rows when a new row is selected using one of the delegate methods.

It seems quite natural that in single selection mode, the table view tries to leave one row selected as much as possible, thus not deselecting on tapping a selected row.
