UITableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath: not being called on first tap

Question

I'm having an issue with UITableView's didSelectRowAtIndexPath.

My table is setup so that when I select row it initializes a new view controller and pushes it.

The first time I tap any row in the table, the method does not get called. Once I select another row, it begins to work as normal.

I have verified this by setting a breakpoint on didSelectRowAtIndexPath. When adding an NSLog to the method I see that when I select the second row that finally pushes the new view controller, I see two log statements appear in the console at the same time.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Any chance you accidentally typed didDeselectRowAtIndexPath?

Answer 2

Also check the selection property of your table view in xib file. Use 'Single Selection' or 'Multiple Selection' as required.
