It might be useful to make an extension in Swift for this.

Swift 4 and Swift 5:

Swift extension (e.g. in a UITableViewExtension.swift file):

import UIKit

extension UITableView {

    func deselectSelectedRow(animated: Bool)
    {
        if let indexPathForSelectedRow = self.indexPathForSelectedRow {
            self.deselectRow(at: indexPathForSelectedRow, animated: animated)
        }
    }

}

Use e.g.:

override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool)
{
    super.viewWillAppear(animated)

    self.tableView.deselectSelectedRow(animated: true)
}

Based on saikirans solution  I have written this  which helped me  On the  m file   -  void tableView  UITableView   tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath  NSIndexPath   indexPath        if selectedRowIndex  amp  amp  indexPath row    selectedRowIndex row              tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath indexPath animated YES           selectedRowIndex   nil              else    self selectedRowIndex    indexPath retain             tableView beginUpdates        tableView endUpdates        And on the header file    property  retain  nonatomic  NSIndexPath  selectedRowIndex    I am not very experienced either  so double check for memory leaks etc

In addition to setting the cell as selected  you also need to inform the tableView that the cell is selected  Add a call to -tableView selectRowAtIndexPath animated scrollPosition  to your willDisplayCell  method  and you will be able to deselect it as normal   -  void tableView  UITableView  tableView    willDisplayCell  UITableViewCell  cell forRowAtIndexPath  NSIndexPath  indexPath        AppDelegate iPad  appDelegte    AppDelegate iPad     UIApplication sharedApplication  delegate        if   appDelegte indexPathDelegate row      indexPath row                    SELECT CELL          cell setSelected YES               TELL TABLEVIEW THAT ROW IS SELECTED          tableView selectRowAtIndexPath indexPath animated NO scrollPosition UITableViewScrollPositionNone                 Be sure to use UITableViewScrollPositionNone to avoid odd scrolling behavior

To have deselect  DidDeselectRowAt  fire when clicked the first time because of preloaded data  you need inform the tableView that the row is already selected to begin with  so that an initial click then deselects the row     Swift 3   func tableView   tableView  UITableView  cellForRowAt indexPath  IndexPath  - gt  UITableViewCell        if tableView indexPath row      data value           tableView selectRow at  indexPath  animated  false  scrollPosition  UITableViewScrollPosition none

What I ve found is that on top of setting the cell as selected  you have to let the table view know to select the row at the given index path      Swift 3     override func tableView   tableView  UITableView  willDisplay cell  UITableViewCell  forRowAt indexPath  IndexPath        if appDelegate indexPathDelegate row    indexPath row           self tableView selectRow at  indexPath  animated  true  scrollPosition   none          cell setSelected true  animated  true
