objective c - Changing the BackgroundColor in a UITableViewCell has no effect on iOS 7.1 -

i working on little ios app derived master - detail template - of layout work has been done in xcode's storyboard.

however, trying alter background color of uitableviewcell depending on content.

my initial thought of doing :

- (void)tableview:(uitableview *)tableview willdisplaycell:(uitableviewcell *)cell forrowatindexpath:(nsindexpath *)indexpath { cell.backgroundcolor = [uicolor redcolor]; }

but had no effect on rendered cell in simulator. kept searching different approaches , tried several of them. illustration (in various flavors):

- (void)tableview:(uitableview *)tableview willdisplaycell:(uitableviewcell *)cell forrowatindexpath:(nsindexpath *)indexpath { cell.textlabel.backgroundcolor = [uicolor clearcolor]; uiview* bgview = [[uiview alloc] initwithframe:cell.bounds]; bgview.backgroundcolor = [uicolor greencolor]; [cell setbackgroundview:bgview]; }

still, no alter in rendered cell. admittedly desperate since final feature missing before can send beta out testers...

i appreciate additional hints.

best regards germany

edit: oddly enough, can't alter cell's color via setting of prototype cell in storyboard ..?

so got figured out:

it seems xcode messed caching/build process. after emptied deriveddata folder worked charm :

rm -rf ~/library/developer/xcode/deriveddata/*

i have never had problem before - or heard of it. now, i'll create sure clear folder first, before wasting hours investigating false problem.

i appreciate time guys invested help me out though !
