实际上这个解决了我的问题:

-(void) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

NSSet *visibleSections = [NSSet setWithArray:[[tableView indexPathsForVisibleRows] valueForKey:@"section"]];
if (visibleSections) {
    // hide the activityIndicator/Loader
}}

你可以使用它在重载数据后做一些事情:

[UIView animateWithDuration:0 animations:^{
    [self.contentTableView reloadData];
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
    _isUnderwritingUpdate = NO;
}];

上面的dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue())方法不能保证有效。我看到了它的非确定性行为，其中有时系统在完成块之前完成了layoutSubviews和单元格渲染，有时在完成块之后。

这里有一个解决方案，100%适用于我，在iOS 10上。它需要实例化UITableView或UICollectionView作为自定义子类的能力。这是UICollectionView的解决方案，但它对UITableView是完全一样的:

CustomCollectionView.h:

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface CustomCollectionView: UICollectionView

- (void)reloadDataWithCompletion:(void (^)(void))completionBlock;

@end

CustomCollectionView.m:

#import "CustomCollectionView.h"

@interface CustomCollectionView ()

@property (nonatomic, copy) void (^reloadDataCompletionBlock)(void);

@end

@implementation CustomCollectionView

- (void)reloadDataWithCompletion:(void (^)(void))completionBlock
{
    self.reloadDataCompletionBlock = completionBlock;
    [self reloadData];
}

- (void)layoutSubviews
{
    [super layoutSubviews];

    if (self.reloadDataCompletionBlock) {
        self.reloadDataCompletionBlock();
        self.reloadDataCompletionBlock = nil;
    }
}

@end

使用示例:

[self.collectionView reloadDataWithCompletion:^{
    // reloadData is guaranteed to have completed
}];

请看这个答案的Swift版本

和一个UICollectionView版本，基于kolaworld的答案。

它需要测试。到目前为止，它在iOS 9.2和Xcode 9.2 beta 2上工作，将collectionView滚动到一个索引，作为一个闭包。

extension UICollectionView
{
    /// Calls reloadsData() on self, and ensures that the given closure is
    /// called after reloadData() has been completed.
    ///
    /// Discussion: reloadData() appears to be asynchronous. i.e. the
    /// reloading actually happens during the next layout pass. So, doing
    /// things like scrolling the collectionView immediately after a
    /// call to reloadData() can cause trouble.
    ///
    /// This method uses CATransaction to schedule the closure.

    func reloadDataThenPerform(_ closure: @escaping (() -> Void))
    {
        CATransaction.begin()
            CATransaction.setCompletionBlock(closure)
            self.reloadData()
        CATransaction.commit()
    }
}

用法:

myCollectionView.reloadDataThenPerform {
    myCollectionView.scrollToItem(at: indexPath,
            at: .centeredVertically,
            animated: true)
}

创建CATransaction的可重用扩展:

public extension CATransaction {
    static func perform(method: () -> Void, completion: @escaping () -> Void) {
        begin()
        setCompletionBlock {
            completion()
        }
        method()
        commit()
    }
}

现在创建一个UITableView的扩展，使用CATransaction的扩展方法:

public extension UITableView {
    func reloadData(completion: @escaping (() -> Void)) {
       CATransaction.perform(method: {
           reloadData()
       }, completion: completion)
    }
}

用法:

tableView.reloadData(completion: {
    //Do the stuff
})

尝试设置延迟时间:

[_tableView performSelector:@selector(reloadData) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.2];
[_activityIndicator performSelector:@selector(stopAnimating) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.2];
