TableViewCell remains selected/highlighted

Posted by admin on May 22, 2009 in Human Interface Guidelines, TableView Issues

Your application, xxxxx, cannot be submitted to the App Store because of a Table View issue.  Applications must adhere to the iPhone Human Interface Guidelines as outlined in iPhone SDK Agreement section 3.3.5.

According to the Table Views, Text Views, and Web Views section of the iPhone Human Interface Guidelines:

“Table views provide feedback when users select list items. Specifically, when an item can be selected, the row containing the item highlights briefly when a user selects it to show that the selection has been received.  Then, an immediate action occurs: Either a new view is revealed or the row displays a checkmark to indicate that the item has been selected. The row never remains highlighted, because table views do not display  persistent selected state.”

In your application, tapping on an item in the Table View results in the item becoming highlighted, and a new view is displayed. However, upon returning to the Table View, the item remains highlighted. Once the action has occurred, the Table View should no longer be highlighted when the user returns.
