UITableViewRowAction was deprecated in iOS 13.0

Question

I am trying to upgrade code of my project and found this warning

 func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, editActionsForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> [UITableViewRowAction]? {
    let deleteRowAction = UITableViewRowAction(style: .destructive, title: deleteActionTitle) { [unowned self] (_, indexPath) in
        //code you want to execute        }
    return [deleteRowAction]
}

Solution 1

  func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, trailingSwipeActionsConfigurationForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UISwipeActionsConfiguration? {
    let contextItem = UIContextualAction(style: .destructive, title: deleteActionTitle) {  (contextualAction, view, boolValue) in
        //Code I want to do here 
    }
    let swipeActions = UISwipeActionsConfiguration(actions: [contextItem])

    return swipeActions
}

Solution 2

You can use the UISwipeActionsConfiguration over UITableViewRowAction such as

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, trailingSwipeActionsConfigurationForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UISwipeActionsConfiguration? {

  return UISwipeActionsConfiguration()
}

So it's clear since it's inferred from the answer, UIContextualAction is a drop in replacement for UITableViewRowAction. So, the migration ends up being something like: 1. Add trailingSwipeActionsConfigurationForRowAt delegate method. 2. Change references to UITableViewRowAction to UIContextualAction. The initializer will be slightly different in ObjC. 3. Pass the actions array to the UISwipeActionsConfiguration creation method instead of directly returning it.
