First of all, you need to create a new UITableViewCell that has one view inside it contentView. You need to make this view that you added smaller than your view and filled so you can create gapes between each tableviewCell.

Like that:

Than you create constraints that will make the view smaller and fit inside the cell like that:

After that you can use this extension here to create the shadow in the view:

The code snippet is something like this: 

extension UIView {

  // OUTPUT 1
  func dropShadow(scale: Bool = true) {
    layer.masksToBounds = false
    layer.shadowColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
    layer.shadowOpacity = 0.5
    layer.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: -1, height: 1)
    layer.shadowRadius = 1

    layer.shadowPath = UIBezierPath(rect: bounds).cgPath
    layer.shouldRasterize = true
    layer.rasterizationScale = scale ? UIScreen.main.scale : 1
  }

}

then you just need to create a reference for your view and in your configuration cell method you call 

view.dropShadow()

the result will look something like this:
