I want to set the height of the first header in my UITableView. For the other headers I want them to remain the default height. What value/constant can I put in place of "someDefaultHeight" in the code below?

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
    if (section == 0)
        return kFirstHeaderHeight;

    return someDefaultHeight;
}

Thanks

From checking the defaults in my app it looks like for a grouped table the default is a height of 22 and for a non-grouped table the default is a height of 10.

If you check the value of the property sectionHeaderHeight on your tableview that should tell you.

For swift 4.2 you should return UITableView.automaticDimension

I'm not sure what the correct answer is here, but neither 10 or 22 appears to be the correct height for a grouped table view in iOS 5. I'm using 44, based on this question, and it at least appears to roughly the correct height.

This should do the trick

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    if(indexPath.section == CUSTOM_SECTION)
    {
        return CUSTOM_VALUE;
    }
    return [tableView rowHeight];
}
