Question

Will apple approve my app if I fake a table view with buttons?
I am still learning and haven´t learnt yet how to achieve great table views.
But I´m a good designer and combining buttons and a scroll view I can obtain the same effect as if it was a Table View.

The thing is: I want to go to different Detail Views depending on the cell you select in a Table View. I don´t know how to do it. I have searched and searched but I can´t find how to do it.

Therefore, for me is much easier to “fake” a table view with buttons and use storyboard to take you to different Views.
I know it is not the most efficient solution, but it is an effective one.

If I do that, will my app be rejected by Apple?
And also, is there a limit on how many different views I can make in storyboard?

I mean, could I create 250 different views with storyboard and move from one to other by segues?

Thank you all in advance for your answers.

Answer 1

I’d recommend going the tableView way, since thats the easy and standard way.

I dont think Apple would like the other approach, since thats what table views were made for, but it may get approved anyways.

If you know the basics on how to create a UITableView and how to implement the UITableViewDelegate and UITableViewDatasource, all you have to do is to implement the tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: method from the UITableViewDelegate.

An implementation for this should look like:

-(void) tableView:(UITableView *) tableView 
    didSelectRowAtIndexPath: (NSIndexPath *) indexPath
{
   [tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath
                animated:YES];
   NSUInteger rowIndex= [indexPath row];//this is the index in the tablevie of the tapped row

   //do stuff with the rowIndex, instantiate another view, etc
}

Hope this helps
