TableView Content behind TabBar

I've searched through Stack Overflow and can't find a fix for the TableView being behind my TabBar.

I set up my TableView like this:

func setUpTableView() {
        messagesTableView.frame = view.frame
        messagesTableView.backgroundColor = .white
        view.addSubview(messagesTableView)
        messagesTableView.tableFooterView = UIView()
        messagesTableView.delegate = self
        messagesTableView.dataSource = self
        messagesTableView.register(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: messagesCellIdentifier)
        edgesForExtendedLayout = []
        extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = false
        messagesTableView.contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior = .never
    }

Then I setUpTableView() in viewDidLoad().

According to all sources

• edgesForExtendedLayout = []
• extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = false
• messagesTableView.contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior = .never

Should satisfy the content insets and not allow the TableView to scroll behind the TabBar.

Please note my TabBars' translucency is set to false inside TabBarController.

tabBar.isTranslucent = false

Adding Illustration

When scrolling to the bottom is not showing the complete TableView content as the TabBar covers the last few indexes.

Did you try this in viewDidAppear ?

  override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewWillAppear(animated)
        tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 0, 0)
    }

Edit

Remove

messagesTableView.frame = view.frame 

and add autoLayout to your messagesTableView

  messagesTableView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
    NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
        messagesTableView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: topAnchor),
        messagesTableView.leftAnchor.constraint(equalTo: leftAnchor),
        messagesTableView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: bottomAnchor),
        messagesTableView.rightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: rightAnchor)
        ])
