Answer 1

Try it (you can choose appearanceWhenContainedInInstancesOfClasses instead).

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {

    ...

    [[UITableViewCell appearance] setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];

    return YES;
}

Answer 2

I tried everything that's possible and only thing that work was

adding

UITableViewCell.appearance().backgroundColor = UIColor.clear

in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions

Answer 3

Just a suggestion: Make sure all elements have a transparent background color or the light blue you are using. Apparently there is one that still has a white background color, could be the cell content view (if you have one) or the cell background.
