Turn off UTIableView lower / upper gradient mask on tvOS?

Question

In tvOS, UITableView applies a beautiful looking gradient mask to the top and bottom of the view. In most cases, this is the desired appearance, but in some cases it is not. Is there a way to conditionally disable this? If there is no official way to do this, has anyone found an indirect way to eliminate this effect?

Answer 1

You can disable it with the following options:

 self.tableView.maskView = nil;
