It looks like all my tableViews that have their backgroundColor property set through a storyboard show as white in the iOS9b4 simulator. Is anyone else running into this issue? Things look fine in Xcode 6.

Thanks!

same here.

workaround: set the background color to whatever you want programatically.

tableview.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

I can conform that, the problem occurs not just with background color but with separator color as well.

Yes this is happening to me (backgroundColor) even with normal XIB as well. Did anyone file a bug to Apple?

For me it happens even for UITableViews created in code. And to make it even stranger one view controller sometimes (presenting it way A) works and sometimes (presenting it way B) doesn't.

I've no clue so far why backgroundColor sometimes is nil. I tried to use keyValue observing to figure out when backgroundColor is changed when it works, but the observer isn't notified, even when the value changes.

And I wasn't able to create a testcase where the error is reproducable, so no bugreport not yet.
