Turning off checkmarks in UITableView Static Cells

I have a UITableView with 5 single grouped cells, allowing users to access specific further screens from each option. Users will then return to this screen and I want to be able to place a checkmark against the last selected cell and turn off any previous checkmarks.

I am trying to achieve this in didSelectRowAtIndexPath: but can't seem to get it right.

There are a few answers available for dynamic cells but nothing for static, can anyone help with this?

There are a number of ways to manage this, but one of the easier things to do is to store references to the cells in a collection so that you can easily send messages to all the cells. For example, you could add a property like the following:

@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutletCollection(NSArray) *cells;

@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutletCollection(UITableViewCell) NSArray *cells;

and connect it to each of the cells in your nib file or storyboard. (If you're not using Interface Builder, drop the IBOutletCollection, and populate the array yourself wherever you create the cells.)

Then you can manage selection as follows:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    for (UITableViewCell *currCell in self.cells)
    {
        currCell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
    }

    UITableViewCell *selectedCell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
    selectedCell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark;
}

Correct syntax for IBOutletCollection is:

@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutletCollection(UITableview) NSArray *cells;
