I am trying to rotate the detail disclosure indicator by 90 degrees in a static UITableView using the following code, but it is not working. 

NSIndexPath* cellIndext = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:1 inSection:0];
UITableViewCell *cell = [self.tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:cellIndext];
cell.accessoryView.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(90.0*M_PI/180.0);

also tried: 

cell.accessoryView.transform = CGAffineTransformRotate(cell.accessoryView.transform,    90*M_PI/180);

still did not work, any help is appreciated.

Please note: I am not talking about the detail disclosure button I am talking bout the detail disclosure indicator. Also, I want to avoid using a custom image for it, just want to use the built in one.

Apple's built in accessoryType does not utilize the .accessoryView property. Apple uses an internal view to display the built-in accessories. Therefore, you cannot modify them.

If you want an accessory arrow that points in a different direction, you will have to create it yourself inside of the accessoryView.

1)You can rotate the button of accessoryView

UIButton *accessoryBtn = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[accessoryBtn setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"image.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[accessoryBtn setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 28, 28)];
selectedCell.accessoryView = accessoryBtn ;

CGAffineTransform t = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
t = CGAffineTransformRotate(t, DegreesToRadians(90));
accessoryBtn.transform = t;

2)You can rotate an imageView at that location

UIImageView *iv = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,28,28)];
iv.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"image.png"];
iv.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(M_PI/2);
