Question

I have grouped static cells in a UITableView. Now I’d like to add or delete (what is easier?) one specific cell, which I’ve already created in my storyboard. It depends on one NSString: If my string == YES, the cell should be displayed, else it shouldn’t.

already tried tableView:insertRowsAtIndexPaths:withRowAnimation:

What you need is:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath

This method is part of the UITableViewDelegate protocol and will be called when the table view is about to draw a cell for a particular row. This provides a UITableViewCell for you to work with.

To identify which cell you need to hide, you can add a tag to the UITableViewCell in the storyboard. This is easier because you are adding static cells.

Then you can just do:

if ([cell tag] == someInteger) {
    cell.hidden = YES;
}

You can wrap this in a condition based on the value of your string that you have mentioned.

I have added some example code on Github to illustrate this.
