IPhone UI: no edit button for UITableView, bad idea?

I have a UITableViewController that allows the user to go to different posts. At the second level / view, the user can add and edit new entries. But I'm not sure what to do, since the "Back" button is in the upper left corner, and I need to put the "Add" button in the upper right corner, so there is no place (for HIG) for the edit button, which usually goes there, where is the back button. (I use the tab bar, so I can’t put it at the bottom.)

Do you think it is logical to expect users to know that they have deleted the record? Or do I need an edit button? If I need an edit button, where should I put it if I follow HIG?

Scrolling for deletion is a well-established interaction with the iphone interface, so yes, it would be convenient for me to expect users to find out about this. We encountered the same problem several times, and yes, you only get two buttons of the navigation bar, so you need to make a choice. If you already use the bottom for the tab bar, I don’t see many other options.

I have the same situation in my application.

When the user clicks the edit button, I show an extra table cell at the end of my table, which allows them to add a new record. Not sure if this is possible in your case.

Maybe add it at the beginning or insert a button just above the UITableView? Then you can also outline the “Add / Change” button so that it is clear that this is how they can add new entries, although I did not.

Another option would be that this extra button or table cell is always visible.
