Tableview row stays selected after coming back from push segue

Question

My view controller is an UIViewController. I've added UITableView to the UIView. When the tableview row is selected, a push segue fires a new view controller. However, when coming back from the new view controller, the selected row stays selected. I didn't have this problem when my first controller was an UITableviewController, but I had to change it to an UIViewController, because I wanted to add activity indicator to my view. The other thing I noticed is that when my first controller was a UITableviewController, viewDidLoad wasn't called when coming back from the new view controller (but now it's called).

Answer 1

Add...

[tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];

in tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath:
