Blur effect on tableview background does not work

Question

I'm trying to replicate the frosted glass look in the tableview at the bottom.

I tried the methods described here and here but none of them seems to work now. Because this is the result I get.

Here is my code.

tableView.backgroundColor = .clear
let blurView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: UIBlurEffect(style: .light))
tableView.backgroundView = blurView

I tested on both a simulator and a device running iOS 12.1 but the issue is present in both.

What am I missing here?

You mean you want the same blur effect in your UITableviewCell? — Nikunj Rajyaguru, Mar 04 '19 at 11:45
@NikunjRajyaguru No, just the background view of the table view. I got it fixed. — Isuru, Mar 04 '19 at 12:20

It doesn't work, because the surfaceView of your FloatingPanelController isn't transparent. Do this, when creating the floating panel:

floatingPanelController.surfaceView.backgroundColor = .clear
