UITableview reloaddata with animation

To add to the correct answer, if you want to reload all sections in your UITableView you will need to do the following:

ObjC

NSRange range = NSMakeRange(0, [self numberOfSectionsInTableView:self.tableView]);NSIndexSet *sections = [NSIndexSet indexSetWithIndexesInRange:range];[self.tableView reloadSections:sections withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationAutomatic];

Swift

let range = NSMakeRange(0, self.tableView.numberOfSections)  let sections = NSIndexSet(indexesIn: range)               self.tableView.reloadSections(sections as IndexSet, with: .automatic) 

This will reload everything in the table view with an animation. Like a boss.

Swift 5:

UIView.transition(with: tableView, duration: 1.0, options: .transitionCrossDissolve, animations: {self.tableView.reloadData()}, completion: nil)

Swift 3

UIView.transition(with: myTableView, duration: 1.0, options: .transitionCrossDissolve, animations: {self.myTableView.reloadData()}, completion: nil)

Swift 2

UIView.transitionWithView(myTableView, duration: 1.0, options: .TransitionCrossDissolve, animations: {self.myTableView.reloadData()}, completion: nil)

I went with this in Swift

use this method,

[_tableView reloadSections:[NSIndexSet indexSetWithIndex:0] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
