Problems with UITableView when loading the view into the main window

Question

I've created a sub class of UITableViewController named LoginViewController with the XIB file using XCode. Then I opened the XIB file with IB and set the table's style to grouped. Finally I wrote the following code:

- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {    
    LoginViewController *loginViewController = [[LoginViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"LoginViewController" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
    [window addSubview: loginViewController.view];
    window.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor];
    [window makeKeyAndVisible];
    [window layoutSubviews];
}

I set the window's background color to blue for you to see what the problem is. I put a link to the screenshot

As you can see in the screenshot the table view is not display correctly because a margin between the bottom of the main window and the table view is being set and I don't know why.

If I don't use the table style grouped the problem does not occur

The UITableView inside your .xib file probably has a negative vertical offset (i.e. y-axis), which would mean you need to adjust the origin (likely to 0,0) and the frame (to, say, 320x400, or whatever your parent view height is).
