Adding drop shadow to UITableView

Question

I've a plain UITableView (not grouped) that I want to add a dropshadow to left and to the right.

How can I achieve this? I've tried:

[self.tableView.layer setShadowColor:[[UIColor whiteColor] CGColor]];
[self.tableView.layer setShadowOffset:CGSizeMake(0, 0)];
[self.tableView.layer setShadowRadius:5.0];
[self.tableView.layer setShadowOpacity:1];

but it doesn't work.

You need to make sure clipsToBounds and masksToBounds are set to NO on the view and layer respectively.

self.tableView.clipsToBounds = NO;
self.tableView.layer.masksToBounds = NO;
