Why does my plain UITableView section footer float above my input's accessory view in iOS 7?

Question

I'm using storyboards to create a static UITableView with one section that has a header and a footer. Each tableview cell has a UITextField whose inputView is set to a UIPicker and the accessory view is a UIToolbar.

This works great except the section footer floats way above the accessory view's toolbar like this in the sim:

This only occurs in iOS 7 not 6. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Looks like UINavigationController's toolbar was to blame. Luckily for me I accidentally had it enabled. After removing it the problem was fixed. But if you need the bottom toolbar I don't know what the solution is.

Answer 2

I have that same problem. My tableview was inside a View that had tabBar and a NavBar.

After some research, I found out that iOS7+ automatically adds a offset to the tableview when it is in a view with tabbar/navbar.

You can disable that automatically offset both via code or via Interface Builder.

Via Interface Builder, just uncheck the "Under Top Bars" (if you are using navbar) and "Under Bottom Bars" (if you are using tabbar) on the "Extended Edges" submenu on the View that has your tableview.

That should solve your problem.
