If you're using a UITableViewController which is backed by an NSMutableArray (or NSArray), then the first thing you have to do is add the new object to your array with something like:

[objects addObject:obj];

Then call

[tableView reload]

which will cause tableView:numberOfRowsInSection: to be checked.

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
    return [objects count]; 
}

Finally, tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath: will be invoked, which you have probably already written to handle rendering cells.
