Strange behavior - Row won't reselect until three taps - ios

Question

I'm currently facing a strange issue with a UITableView in iOS whereby deselected rows are no longer selectable immediately, you must tap three times before you can select again. I'm implementing something akin to a checklist, with a "clear" button to go through and deselect all the cells. This effect only occurs when the cell had been previously selected, but the "clear" button is pressed. If a cell had been untouched before and is touched after the clear button, it will be presented and toggle fine.
Here is what I have
I should mention that the VC this Table is in is stored inside a container, hence the reference to it.
The deselect
- (IBAction)btnClearTapped:(id)sender {
UITableView *locationList = self.locationsVc.tableView;
for (NSUInteger i = 0; i < [locationList numberOfSections]; i++) {
for (NSUInteger j = 0; j < [locationList numberOfRowsInSection:i]; j++) {
[locationList deselectRowAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:j inSection:i] animated:YES];
}
}
}
The didSelectRowAtIndexPath method
- (void) tableView: (UITableView *) tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
UITableViewCell *cell = [self.tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
BOOL isChecked = !((NSNumber *) cellToggleDict[indexPath]).boolValue;
cellToggleDict[indexPath] = #(isChecked);
UIView *selectionColorView = [[UIView alloc] init];
if (isChecked) {
selectionColorView.backgroundColor = selectedColor;
selectedLocations[indexPath] = [[Search sharedManager] locationAtIndexPath:indexPath];//PFObject
}
else {
selectionColorView.backgroundColor = unselectedColor;
[selectedLocations removeObjectForKey:indexPath];
}
cell.selectedBackgroundView = selectionColorView;
}
And finally the dequeue and redraw method
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"Reuse" forIndexPath:indexPath];
PFObject *object = [[Search sharedManager] locationAtIndexPath:indexPath];
cell.textLabel.text = object[#"Name"];
BOOL isChecked = ((NSNumber *) cellToggleDict[indexPath]).boolValue;
UIView *selectionColorView = [[UIView alloc] init];
if (isChecked) {
selectionColorView.backgroundColor = selectedColor;
}
else {
selectionColorView.backgroundColor = unselectedColor;
}
cell.selectedBackgroundView = selectionColorView;
return cell;
}

You don't clear the cellToggleDict entries in the btnClearTapped: method. You should have.
- (IBAction)btnClearTapped:(id)sender {
UITableView *locationList = self.locationsVc.tableView;
[cellToggleDict removeAllObjects]; // Clear all objects from the selected store
for (NSUInteger i = 0; i < [locationList numberOfSections]; i++) {
for (NSUInteger j = 0; j < [locationList numberOfRowsInSection:i]; j++) {
[locationList deselectRowAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:j inSection:i] animated:YES];
}
}
}
