Is there any way to change "DELETE" button from UITableViewCell?

Question

I want to change DELETE button in UITableViewCell. Actually, I need to :

1. Change position of button
2. font
3. text color of that button.

Here I can only change button text in following delegate method :

- (NSArray<UITableViewRowAction *> *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView editActionsForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath  
{  
    UITableViewRowAction *viewAction = [UITableViewRowAction rowActionWithStyle:UITableViewRowActionStyleDefault title:@"Follow" handler:^(UITableViewRowAction *action, NSIndexPath *indexPath) {  

        NSLog(@"View Action fired");  
    }];  
    viewAction.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];  

    return @[callAction];  
}  

But how to change other attributes of button. If anyone knows, please let me know.

Thanks.

To get this working, implement the following two methods on your UITableView's delegate to get the desired effect

- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canEditRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    return YES;
}

 - (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
// you need to implement this method too esle nothing will work:

}

check your method you created the name of UITableViewRowAction *viewAction but you returned teh value of callAction modify once and try

- (NSArray<UITableViewRowAction *> *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView editActionsForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath  
{  
    UITableViewRowAction *callAction = [UITableViewRowAction rowActionWithStyle:UITableViewRowActionStyleDefault title:@"Follow" handler:^(UITableViewRowAction *action, NSIndexPath *indexPath) {  

        NSLog(@"View Action fired");  
    }];  
    callAction.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];  

    return @[callAction];  
}  

In Standard UITableViewRowAction we can't change , we can change only

style

title

backgroundColor

backgroundEffect

You can create a custom cell and add custom UIButton into cell. I have a example

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
    ViewOrderCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath] ;

    if (cell == nil)
    {
        cell = [[ViewOrderCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    }

    [cell.btnUpdate addTarget:self action:@selector(updateOrder:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
    [cell.btnDelete addTarget:self action:@selector(deleteOrder:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

    return cell;
}

-(void)updateOrder:(id)sender
{
    NSLog(@"update");
}
-(void)deleteOrder:(id)sender
{
    NSLog(@"delete");
}

Hope this helps.
