Answer 1

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [self.tableView selectRowAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:0] animated:NO scrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionNone];
}

If you want the callback from the delegate:

if ([self.tableView.delegate respondsToSelector:@selector(tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath:)]) {
    [self.tableView.delegate tableView:self.tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:0]];
}

Answer 2

I tried to study your code downloading the project.The problem is that firstController.tableView is nil.
So fix it:

[firstTable selectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath 
                        animated:NO 
                  scrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionNone];

Or assign firstController.tableView to the table view.
