UIAppearance not styling the custom UITableViewCell

This is kind of strange issue! I am using the UIAppearance API to style my UITableViewCells. I use the following code to style the UITableViewCell. 

// table cell
    id tableCellAppearance = [UITableViewCell appearance];
    [tableCellAppearance setBackgroundView:[theme imageViewForTableViewCellBackground]];

// table cell
-(UIImageView *) imageViewForTableViewCellBackground
{
    UIImageView *backgroundView = [[UIImageView alloc] init];
    [backgroundView setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"tile_heading_background"]];

    return backgroundView;
}

When I run the app and see the UITableViewCells only 1 cell is styled in the UITableView. The cell in the middle. Why is that?

Create a CustomUITableViewCell and implement the <UIAppearance> Protocol

CustomCell.h

@interface CustomCell : UITableViewCell <UIAppearance>

@property (nonatomic, weak) UIColor *backgroundCellColor UI_APPEARANCE_SELECTOR;

CustomCell.m

@implementation CustomCell

@synthesize backgroundCellColor;

-(void)setBackgroundCellColor:(UIColor *)backgroundColor
{
    [super setBackgroundColor:backgroundColor];
}

Finally use the CustomCell in your view and set background or image

[[CustomCell appearance] setBackgroundCellColor:[UIColor redColor]];
