right detail of static tableview not visible in IOS 8 - objective-c

I have a static UITableView. Some cells are set to right detail.
I made UILabel IBOUTLETS for all the right labels and connected them in storyboard. In my viewWillAppear I set the text of the UILabel.
Here is the problem. When my view apppears my text on the label is not visible. But when I touch the cell. The label becomes visible.
This is an IOS 8 problem only. Can someone help me with this.
Kind regards!

There is some bug in Interface builder in Xcode 6.
Change Style of Table View Cell in IB to Basic and then to Right Detail again.
It should work then.

NSToolBar for switchign views in storyboards - OS X (Objective-C)

Have been searching quite a while, maybe someone can direct me to a step by step tutorial on understanding how to use NSToolbar to switch between different view controllers and show them below the toolbar. Possibly resizing the window based on the view height and width.
Not familiar with swift, so any objective-c stuff is much obliged. Thank you.
You can use an NSTabViewController with its tabStyle set to NSTabViewControllerTabStyleToolbar.
You can add an NSTabViewItem to the tab view controller for each view controller; with the image of the tab view item set to the image you want in the toolbar.
This can be setup programmatically or in an interface builder storyboard.

iOS9 - UITableViewCellContentView is covering up Controls inside Cell

I have made a custom UITableViewCell called "SwitchCell" that has a switch.
In iOS9 Only, using Xcode 7 beta, the Content view in the cell is on top of the switch. (See screenshot of View Hierarchy. You can clearly see that the content view of the cell is on top of the other views. ):
So all the touches to the UISwitch are intercepted, and the IBAction does not fire.
In iOS8, this is not a problem. See screenshot for iOS 8.4 simulator. You can see that there is no content view on top of the controls:
Has anyone had this problem?
I tried remaking the NIB from scratch, but the same result occurs.
My NIB is a freeform size view with No status bar. It has two outlets: one for UILabel, one for UISwitch.
EDIT: please make sure to check the answer below that asks to verify that the cell's root view is not just a UIView but a UITableViewCell. This issue may also be a side effect of this.
After more investigation and searching, i found my solution here:
Button in UITableViewCell not responding under ios 7
What fixed it for me was:
cell.contentView.userInteractionEnabled = NO;
This prevents the cell content view from taking over the touch events, even though it's on top of the other views.
This issue was not only happening on iOS9, but on iOS7 as well. In iOS8, the Content view was behind the controls.
Problem can be in .xib file for your cell. When you create cell in separate .xib, be sure to drag UITableViewCell on canvas, not UIView.
SWIFT
I had an issue where my buttons in my custom tableviewcell swift files were working just fine, but then I upgraded to Xcode 12 and then all of a sudden I couldn't access them anymore (meaning my taps were not being recognized). The cell content view seemed to be interfering in the hierarchy and this like saved me:
cell.contentView.isUserInteractionEnabled = false
I put the line in cellForRowAt.
Thank you to #FranticRock
I had this problem when I was reusing a cell as a .xib. I didn't realise but when I first created the xib the default view that it created was in fact a UIView and not a UITableViewCell. It seems that at some stage UIKit adds the content view on top of my other elements and therefore interrupts certain events (e.g. touch events).
I resolved this by opening my xib file and dragging a UITableViewCell onto the canvas and copying my UI elements from the old view to the new cell.
Afterwards, additional settings also became available in the attributes inspector that matched those for a UITableViewCell.

Can't edit custom cells with UITableView as subview

I have a view controller that I have a static view up at the top with a button and a tableview that is under it. I'm attempting to create custom cells in the tableview, but I cannot add labels or anything to the cell. Storyboard only allows me to add the labels to the original view or the tableview (but not the cell). How can I get around this?
Here's a picture for reference.
Out of pure "trying everything" I got it fixed by manually dragging a cell into the view and not using the auto generated prototype cells by xcode. It looks like it was a bug with xcode where it's auto generated prototype cells would not let any interaction happen. To fix it, I dragged a UITableView cell from the object list into the tableview and I was able to edit that just fine. Hope this helps someone else out.

Why isn't my tableview visible?

I'm an sdk newbie, so please forgive the simplicity of this question. Here's the scenario:
I used the Utility Based application template because I like the flip effect of the info button. I changed the info button to a round rect button and made a copy of it that to have two round rect buttons on my first view. I modified the flipside view to display a picture and that functionality works fine. For the second button I wanted it to flip to a tableview underneath the navigation bar. I added a navViewController for the navigation bar and a TableViewController for the tableview. I made a nib for that View, added the tableview, hooked up all the appropriate connections, but when I run it, the flip works fine, but there is no tableview displayed. What I mean by no tableview is it is blank. No lines or anything, just a blank navigation bar at top and blank white space. Please help! Thanks!
With limited information you have given here:
Potential Problem 1 - First Level UIViewController is not linked
If you open NIB file in interface builder where you have drag and dropped NavigationViewController, you will see small disclosure triangle. If you expand that you will see NavigationBar and UIViewController. Select the UIViewController and change it to name of the TableViewController.
The NIB file will change and say View Loaded from YourTableViewController.
Potential Problem 2 - You have to do addSubView or insertSubView and pass in [navigationController view]
If you post some code it may be helpful.
Hope this Helps!

UISearchBar and UINavigationController

I have an .xib file connected to a ViewController, which is init'ed as the root controller of an instance of UINavigationController in my appDelegate.
In that view, I have a UISearchBar and a UITableView below it.
When the view loads up, there's a navigationBar at the top, followed by a ~20 pixel gap, and then the UISearchBar, and the table beneath it:
My problem is that when I enter the UISearchBar to type something, the navigation bar disappears (which is fine), but the search box is all screwy:
I'm pretty new to this (a couple of weeks), so I'm not quite sure what's going on. Can anyone help me shed some light on this?
Did you pull the search bar into the parent view or into the table view? The search bar should be the header view for the table, and not as a standalone view. If you want it to be standalone anyway, make sure your autoresizing flags are correct (under cmd-3 (size) in the inspector in Interface Builder); the search bar should stick to the top and not be flexible in height.
