OK so i found the solution, I have set in my controller the property:
self.automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = false
I don’t really understand the true benefit of this property though, (or why the default value is true)
The only documentation i found was there:
- https://web.archive.org/web/20160405135605/https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/userexperience/conceptual/TransitionGuide/AppearanceCustomization.html
- https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiviewcontroller/1621372-automaticallyadjustsscrollviewin
Update
In iOS 11 automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets is deprecated
You should now use:
self.tableView.contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior = .never
I also encourage you to check this question and its answer to get a better understanding of those properties
