ios7 UITableViewCell selectionStyle won't go back to blue

Question

Xcode 5.0, iOS 7 and updating an existing app. UITableView selected row is now gray, not blue.

From what I\'ve read they changed the default selection

Answer 1

I know this has already been answered but the last thing I wanted to do was touch all of my cellForRowAtIndexPath methods. So, I used an appearance proxy in my App Delegate. I took @null's code above to set the selected background view and in the applicationDidFinishLaunching:withOptions: method I placed this code.

UIView *bgColorView = [[UIView alloc] init];
//the rest of null's code to make the view
[[UITableViewCell appearance] setSelectedBackgroundView:bgColorView];

Then to make the white text hi light:

[[UILabel appearanceWhenContainedIn:[UITableViewCell class], nil] setHighlightedTextColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];

This made a global change in my app. The appearance proxy was introduced in iOS5 and Mattt has a great article on how to use it at his NSHipster blog.
