iOS 11/Xcode 9: UITableViewCell white background flickers on delete

Question

On iOS 11 device on deleting a UITableViewCell unexpected white background appears for some reason however all background colors are set to blue in storyboard (works fine on iOS10).

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    if (editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete)
    {
        [self.bookmarks removeObjectAtIndex:indexPath.row];            
        [self.tableView deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:@[indexPath] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
    }
}

Tried all types of UITableViewRowAnimation, doesn't solve the problem.

I too am having this problem. Setting cell's `backgroundView` to a view with a non-white background has no effect. — Fred Vollmer, Sep 30 '17 at 18:56
I've already played around tableView' and cell's views (contentVieц/accessoryView) background/tint colors with no effect... — Pavel Kozlov, Sep 30 '17 at 20:18
I've already submitted a bug report, nothing is heard from apple so far — Pavel Kozlov, Oct 02 '17 at 18:29
bug reports are private and i'm not an openradar fan, here is link to apple forum https://forums.developer.apple.com/message/266815 — Pavel Kozlov, Oct 04 '17 at 15:45
@DianaProdan Nope, temporary changed app color scheme to white so the issue is not visible. — Pavel Kozlov, Oct 05 '17 at 20:27

Try it (you can choose appearanceWhenContainedInInstancesOfClasses instead).

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

    ...

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

    return YES;
}

I confirmed that it has been fixed this problem on simulator. – Milch Oct 12 '17 at 15:35
Yep, i've set all background colors to clear (except tableView.backgroundColor which is still blue one) and implemented the proxy as you suggesting - it works! Thank you! – Pavel Kozlov Oct 12 '17 at 16:27
It works! Swift 4: `UITableViewCell.appearance().backgroundColor = .clear` – Geek20 Nov 20 '17 at 04:36
Not an elegant solution but it's the only thing that works. – aalesano Dec 02 '17 at 12:49

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.
