Obj-C - TableView scroll to bottom after data reloaded?

I'm trying to have my tableview scroll to the bottom after new data is loaded. For example I have a chat window that is loading new messages once my 'sendReply' button is pressed, and I always want it to scroll to the most recent message (at the bottom) when data is posted. For some reason, my tableView won't scroll to the bottom after self.tableview reload?

I assume this is because of rowNumber-1 in my method, but when I try to change this to -0, I get the error:

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSRangeException', reason: '-[UITableView _contentOffsetForScrollingToRowAtIndexPath:atScrollPosition:usingPresentationValues:]: row (16) beyond bounds (16) for section (0).'

ViewController.m 

- (void)scrollTableToBottom {
    NSInteger rowNumber = [self. tableView numberOfRowsInSection:0];
    if (rowNumber > 0) {
        [self. tableView scrollToRowAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:rowNumber-1 inSection:0] atScrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionBottom animated:YES];
    }
}

- (IBAction)sendReply:(id)sender {


    if ([self.messageData count] > 0) {

        self.sendButton.hidden = YES;

        self.activityIndicator.hidden = NO;
        [self.activityIndicator startAnimating];


    NSMutableDictionary *nodeData = [NSMutableDictionary new];

    [nodeData setObject:@"messages" forKey:@"type"];


    NSDictionary *messageValues = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:self.replyField.text, nil] forKeys:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"value", nil]];
    NSDictionary *finalMessage = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:[NSArray arrayWithObject:messageValues] forKey:@"und"];

    [nodeData setObject:finalMessage forKey:@"body"];

   NSString *otherUID = [self.messageData objectForKey:@"uid"];



    NSString *userValue = otherUID;


    NSDictionary *targetMessage = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:userValue, nil] forKeys:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"value", nil]];
    NSDictionary *finalUser = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:[NSArray arrayWithObject:targetMessage] forKey:@"und"];

    [nodeData setObject:finalUser forKey:@"field_targetuser"];

    [nodeData setValue: @"Re:" forKey:@"title"];

        NSDictionary *userDictInfo = (NSDictionary*) [NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithData:[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:@"diosSession"]];


        DIOSSession *session = [DIOSSession sharedSession];
        [session setUser:userDictInfo];


        [session user];


    NSString *uid = [session user][@"user"][@"uid"];


    [DIOSNode nodeSave:nodeData success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {


           self.replyField.text = @"";
            [self.tableView reloadData];
             [self scrollTableToBottom];
             self.sendButton.hidden = NO;
             [self.activityIndicator stopAnimating];
             self.activityIndicator.hidden = YES;


    } failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
        NSLog(@"Node did not save!");
    }];



    } else if ([self.messageDataFriends count] > 0) {

        self.sendButton.hidden = YES;

        self.activityIndicator.hidden = NO;
        [self.activityIndicator startAnimating];

        NSString *uid = [[[DIOSSession sharedSession] user] objectForKey:@"uid"];



        [DIOSNode nodeSave:nodeData success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {

            dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{

  1. Add to the first block

    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
    self.replyField.text = @"";
    [self.tableView reloadData];
    [self scrollTableToBottom];
    self.sendButton.hidden = NO;
    [self.activityIndicator stopAnimating];
    self.activityIndicator.hidden = YES;
});

  2. Also add NSLog(@"rowNumber = %lu",rowNumber); after NSInteger rowNumber = [self.tableView numberOfRowsInSection:0]; in scrollTableToBottom method. And before [self.tableView reloadData]; If they are equal, this means that the data have not been reloaded yet.
