Does UITableViewCell accessoryView has superview?

I assigned a UIView to a UITableViewCell's accessoryView then when i try to get the superView of it seems it's nil?

So does accessoryView has a superview? If no how does it appears?

A view cannot appear on screen unless it has a superview (or is itself a UIWindow).

You may be checking the superview property before it has been set. The accessory view is added as a subview of the cell by the cell's layoutSubviews method. It doesn't happen immediately upon setting the cell's accessoryView property.

If you replace an accessory view with another accessory view, the old accessory view will be removed from its superview (the cell) immediately (inside the setAccessoryView: method), but the new accessory view won't be added to the cell until the cell's layoutSubviews runs.
