Set UITableView content inset permanently

In Swift:

override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
      super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
      self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: 108, left: 0, bottom: 0, right: 0)
}

Probably it was some sort of my mistake because of me messing with autolayouts and storyboard but I found an answer.

You have to take care of this little guy in View Controller's Attribute Inspector asvi

It must be unchecked so the default contentInset wouldn't be set after any change. After that it is just adding one-liner to viewDidLoad:

[self.tableView setContentInset:UIEdgeInsetsMake(108, 0, 0, 0)]; // 108 is only example

iOS 11, Xcode 9 update

Looks like the previous solution is no longer a correct one if it comes to iOS 11 and Xcode 9. automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets has been deprecated and right now to achieve similar effect you have to go to Size Inspector where you can find this: enter image description here
Also, you can achieve the same in code:

if #available(iOS 11.0, *) {
    scrollView.contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior = .never
} else {
    automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = false
}

automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets is deprecated in iOS11 (and the accepted solution no longer works). use:

if #available(iOS 11.0, *) {
    scrollView.contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior = .never
} else {
    automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = false
}
