Is there an easy way to select a table cell in xCode through code? The following doesn't exist, but this would be ideal
self.tableView.cell
Basically I am trying to style placeholder text to be white, any simple solution? From what I have seen, it takes quite a few lines to customise these sections.

Here is what you need to do to select a row from a table view:
[self.tableView selectRowAtIndexPath:(A Number) animated:YES scrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionNone];
If this causes in error in code, remember the tableView is only a property of UITableViewController subclasses.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Thanks for the answer Landon, I gave it a go, but it still was a little technical for me. I ended up using the User Defined Runtime Attributes. Seemed to do the trick
