Display tableView under status bar

Question

I'm trying to display my UITableView's content under the status bar upon app launch (it can be achieved now by scrolling).

This is my current result:

But I'd like it to appear like this:

I've set these attributes for the UINavigationController

And I've tried to adjust the insets like so in viewDidLoad:

[self.tableView setContentInset:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 0, 0)];

However, it doesn't display as desired.

are you creating the tableview via code? or dragging it to storyboard? — Saheb Roy, Feb 02 '16 at 12:56
how about using a uiviewcontroller subclass and using a tableview instead? Or you can untick extended edges - "Under Top Bars", and check the result once — Saheb Roy, Feb 02 '16 at 12:58

Add the code in this method- -viewDidLayoutSubview()

[self.tableView setContentInset:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 0, 0)];

Easier syntax: `self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsZero;` – gklka Apr 06 '18 at 08:42

This is what worked for me.

tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: -UIApplication.shared.statusBarFrame.size.height, left: 0, bottom: 0, right: 0)

Generally, answers are much more helpful if they include an explanation of what the code is intended to do, and why that solves the problem without introducing others. – SivolcC Feb 11 '19 at 05:13
When I click the status bar, the table view goes to zero content inset, which means it works but generates another problem.. – Yusuf Dec 27 '21 at 09:40
