DidSelectRow is not working - ios

Question

Pretty much what the title says: DidSelectRow is not getting called, and I did check that I didn't use Deselect. I also checked that delegate and DataSource are connected to the tableViewController and the Selection was Single Selection. However, the method is still not getting called.
Does an empty tableView might have any effect to it(reason it's empty is because the user starts to populate it. I'm using CoreData for it)?
EDIT
This is what the method looks like:
var effectView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: UIBlurEffect(style: .light))
var effect: UIVisualEffect!
let defaults = UserDefaults.standard
var userMagazineTitle = [User]()
var dataString = String()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
addProgrammatically()
let fetchRequest: NSFetchRequest<User> = User.fetchRequest()
do{
let users = try PresistanceService.context.fetch(fetchRequest)
self.userMagazineTitle = users
self.tableView.reloadData()
}catch{
ProgressHUD.showError("Nothing to see here")
}
}
/ MARK: - Table view data source
override func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
// #warning Incomplete implementation, return the number of sections
return 1
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
// #warning Incomplete implementation, return the number of rows
return userMagazineTitle.count
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "myCell", for: indexPath) as! MyFeedTableViewCell
cell.myHeadline?.text = userMagazineTitle[indexPath.row].title
cell.indentationLevel = 3
return cell
}
// Override to support editing the table view.
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, commit editingStyle: UITableViewCellEditingStyle, forRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
let manage = PresistanceService.persistentContainer.viewContext
let del = userMagazineTitle[indexPath.row]
if editingStyle == .delete {
// Delete the row from the data source
manage.delete(del)
do{
try manage.save()
}catch{
ProgressHUD.showError()
}
let fetchRequest = NSFetchRequest<NSFetchRequestResult>(entityName: "User")
do{
userMagazineTitle = try manage.fetch(fetchRequest) as! [User]
}catch{
ProgressHUD.showError()
}
tableView.reloadData()
}
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
self.performSegue(withIdentifier: "showUser", sender: indexPath)
navigationController?.navigationBar.isHidden = false
tableView.deselectRow(at: indexPath, animated: true)
}
override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
if segue.identifier == "showUser" {
let DestViewController = segue.destination as! UINavigationController
let targetController = DestViewController.topViewController as! CompanyTableViewController
let indexPath = sender as! IndexPath
let user = userMagazineTitle[indexPath.row].title
let user2 = userMagazineTitle[indexPath.row].rssurl
targetController.customUserInit(articlesindex: indexPath.row, title: user!, rssUrl: user2!)
}
}
func addProgrammatically() {
effectView.frame = view.bounds
tableView.addSubview(effectView)
effectView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
if #available(iOS 11.0, *) {
effectView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.topAnchor, constant: 0).isActive = true
} else {
// Fallback on earlier versions
effectView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.topAnchor, constant: 0).isActive = true
}
effectView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.heightAnchor).isActive = true
effectView.widthAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.widthAnchor).isActive = true
effect = effectView.effect
effectView.effect = nil
self.tableView.separatorStyle = .none
tableView.backgroundView = UIImageView(image: UIImage(named: "myMagazines.jpg"))
tableView.backgroundView?.contentMode = .scaleAspectFill
tableView.clipsToBounds = true
navigationController?.navigationBar.isHidden = false
UIApplication.shared.statusBarStyle = .lightContent
navigationController?.navigationBar.isTranslucent = false
navigationController?.navigationBar.barStyle = .black
navigationController?.navigationBar.tintColor = .white
navigationController?.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = [NSAttributedStringKey.foregroundColor: UIColor.white]
}
}

Answer 1

Another thing that might lead to the issue is not selected selection kind. I lost my two hours for fixing this.
Cross check cell selection , if it is selected for no selection change it to single selection.
To do this programatically :
Swift : tableView.allowsSelection = YES;
Objective C: [tableView allowsSelection : YES];
==============================
This might be helpful to someone!

Answer 2

You have added a UIVisualEffectView view on top of tableview, which is not passing the touch events to tableview.
Setting effectView.isUserInteractionEnabled = false, should make this view pass touch events to the views underneath.

Answer 3

There could be two issues for this problem:
The method signature of the TableView DidSelectRow could be wrong. The current signature is:
Swift:
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath)
ObjectiveC: - (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
You are setting the Delegate of the TableView to nil somewhere in the code.
