Answer 1

If you return 0 in tableView:heightForFooterInSection: than default value is returned (probably 10.0). It is tricky, but you can use CGFLOAT_MIN instead of 0 to remove footer.

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section {
    return CGFLOAT_MIN;
}

Update:

Swift 3:

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForFooterInSection section: Int) -> CGFloat {
    return CGFloat.leastNormalMagnitude
}

typedef enum {

} UITableViewStyle;
