Remove UITableView separator line

I want to remove the line between 2 views. The line that separates 2 UITableViewCells:

I declared table view as following:

self.tableView = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero style:UITableViewStylePlain];
self.tableView.delegate = self;
self.tableView.dataSource = self;
self.tableView.keyboardDismissMode = UIScrollViewKeyboardDismissModeOnDrag;
self.tableView.scrollEnabled = NO;
self.tableView.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleNone;
self.tableView.estimatedRowHeight = 85.0;
self.tableView.rowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension;

So i actually wrote - self.tableView.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleNone;

Why does it still exist?

Objective-C :

[self.tableView setSeparatorStyle:UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleNone];

Swift:

self.tableView.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellSeparatorStyle.None

Swift 5.0 renamed it in :

self.tableView.separatorStyle = UITableViewCell.SeparatorStyle.none

Apply the line in viewDidLoad() method.

If you want to do it from nib file, set the tableView's Separator property to None

For Swift 4:

tableView.separatorStyle = .none

For Swift 5 :

 viewDidLoad(){
     tableView.separatorStyle = UITableViewCell.SeparatorStyle.none
    }

For Objective-C :

[self.tableView setSeparatorStyle:UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleNone];

or you can use interface builder instead

SeparatorStyle

Hide tableView separators using UI

Here you select TableView 'Separator' property as 'None'.

You can use the following code because it will not remove the line separators of the sections.:

-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{

    // Your code here //

    cell.separatorInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0.f, [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.width, 0.f, 0.f);

}

In Swift 4.2 you can conveniently use dot notation on a tableView's separatorStyle. Like so:

tableView.separatorStyle = .none

My problem was when I add tableView trough code and I have separate func to show tableview and add it on mainView (slide from bottom) I needed to add this tableView.separatorStyle = .none in that func where tableView is added on mainView and constraint it.

As @gonsee point out: "Setting separatorStyle seems to have no effect unless the table view is in the window's view hierarchy. If you have a table view on some UIView subclass"

You should set the seperatorStyle in viewDidAppear if you your table in UIView.

override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        self.contentView.documentTableView.separatorStyle = .none
}

you can archive these things in different ways

1. you can also use this one line of code in viewDidLoad()

   override func viewDidLoad() {
      super.viewDidLoad()
      tableView.tableFooterView = UIView()
   }

2. You can do it on a storyboard

3. set the code in viewDidLoad()

   override func viewDidLoad() {
      super.viewDidLoad()
      tableView.separatorStyle = .none
   }
   

add this line

tableView.separatorStyle = .none

In viewDidLoad add tableView.separatorStyle = .none

Example:

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    ...
    self.tableView.separatorStyle = .none // <---
    ...
}
