I have a UITableViewController subclass with sections. The sections are showing with the default style (no rounded corners). How can I set the TableView style to grouped in the code? I'm not using Interface Builder for this, so I need something like

[self.tableView setGroupedStyle]

I searched on Stack Overflow, but couldn't come up with an answer.

If i understand what you mean, you have to initialize your controller with that style. Something like:

myTVContoller = [[UITableViewController alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStyleGrouped];

Using Normal TableView

let tableView = TableView(frame: .zero, style: .grouped)

Using TPKeyboardAvoidingTableView 

let tableView = TPKeyboardAvoidingTableView(frame: .zero, style: .grouped)

You can do this with using storyboard/XIB also

  1. Go To storyboard -> Select your viewController -> Select your table
  2. Select the "Style" property in interface-builder
  3. Select the "Grouped"
  4. Done

If you create your UITableView in code, you can do the following:

class SettingsVC: UITableViewController {

    init() {
        if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
            super.init(style: .insetGrouped)
        } else {
            super.init(nibName: nil, bundle: nil)
        }
     }
    
     @available(*, unavailable)
     required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
         fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
     }
 }

if you don't want use storyboard, this might be help.

you can add table view and set properties in a closure:

lazy var tableView: UITableView = {
        let tableView = UITableView(frame: .zero, style: .grouped)

        tableView.backgroundColor = UIColor(named: Palette.secondaryLight.rawValue)
        tableView.rowHeight = 68
        tableView.separatorStyle = .none
        tableView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        return tableView
    }()

then add in subview and set constraints.

You can use:

(instancetype)init {
return [[YourSubclassOfTableView alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStyleGrouped];
}

self.tableView.style = UITableViewStyleGrouped

EDIT:

Had assumed this was a read/write property. In that case, you can either follow Dimitris advice and set the style when you instantiate the controller, or (if you're using a XIB), you can set it via IB.
