Answer 1

Per Apple's Docs you must also implement the heightForFooterInSection method, otherwise your viewForFooterInSection wouldn't do anything.

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
      return 100.0f;
}

- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
    if(tableView == myListTableview)  //Here you can make decision 
    {
       UIView *footerView=[[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 40)];
       UIButton *addcharity=[UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
       [addcharity setTitle:@"Add to other" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
       [addcharity addTarget:self action:@selector(addCharity:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
       [addcharity setTitleColor:[UIColor blackColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];  //Set the color this is may be different for iOS 7
       addcharity.frame=CGRectMake(0, 0, 130, 30); //Set some large width for your title 
       [footerView addSubview:addcharity];
       return footerView;
    }
}

- (void)addCharity:(id)sender
{
      NSLog(@"add to charity");
}

Answer 2

Be sure of three things

1- You not implementing this method

- (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section

2- This method

- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section{

Is a UITableViewDelegate method and not UITableViewDataSource, Check if delegate of the tableview is set with the controller

3- Be sure you are implementing this method

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section;

Finally, If everything is correct and still not working then You can just add the view in "tableFooterView" property of the table to be the footer of the whole table and not only the section

Same code in swift

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, heightForFooterInSection section: Int) -> CGFloat {
        return 100.0
    }
    func tableView(tableView: UITableView, viewForFooterInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {

        let footerView = UIView(frame:CGRectMake(0,0,320,40))

        let loginButton = UIButton(type: .Custom)
        loginButton.setTitle("LOGIN", forState: .Normal)
        loginButton.addTarget(self, action: "loginAction", forControlEvents: .TouchUpInside)
        loginButton.setTitleColor(UIColor.whiteColor(), forState: .Normal)
        loginButton.backgroundColor = UIColor.blueColor()
        loginButton.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 130, 30)

        footerView.addSubview(loginButton)

        return footerView
    }

    func loginAction()
    {
        print("Hello");
    }
