How to scroll to the bottom of a UITableView on the iPhone before the view appears

I believe that calling

 tableView.setContentOffset(CGPoint(x: 0, y: CGFloat.greatestFiniteMagnitude), animated: false)

will do what you want.

I think the easiest way is this:

if (self.messages.count > 0)
{
    [self.tableView 
        scrollToRowAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:self.messages.count-1 
        inSection:0] 
        atScrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionBottom animated:YES];
}

Swift 3 Version:

if messages.count > 0 {
    userDefinedOptionsTableView.scrollToRow(at: IndexPath(item:messages.count-1, section: 0), at: .bottom, animated: true)
}

From Jacob's answer, this is the code:

- (void) viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewDidAppear:animated];

    if (self.messagesTableView.contentSize.height > self.messagesTableView.frame.size.height) 
    {
        CGPoint offset = CGPointMake(0, self.messagesTableView.contentSize.height - self.messagesTableView.frame.size.height);
        [self.messagesTableView setContentOffset:offset animated:YES];
    }
}
