DidSelectRow is not working

Question

Pretty much what the title says: DidSelectRow is not getting called, and I did check that I didn't use Deselect. I also checked that delegate and DataSource are connected to the tableViewController and the Selection was Single Selection. However, the method is still not getting called.

Does an empty tableView might have any effect to it(reason it's empty is because the user starts to populate it. I'm using CoreData for it)?

EDIT

This is what the method looks like:

 var effectView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: UIBlurEffect(style: .light))
    var effect: UIVisualEffect!
    let defaults = UserDefaults.standard
    var userMagazineTitle = [User]()
    var dataString = String()

override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        addProgrammatically()

        let fetchRequest: NSFetchRequest<User> = User.fetchRequest()
        do{
            let users = try PresistanceService.context.fetch(fetchRequest)
            self.userMagazineTitle = users
            self.tableView.reloadData()
        }catch{
            ProgressHUD.showError("Nothing to see here")
        }

    }

    override func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
        // #warning Incomplete implementation, return the number of sections
        return 1
    }

    override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
        // #warning Incomplete implementation, return the number of rows
        return userMagazineTitle.count
    }


    override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
        let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "myCell", for: indexPath) as! MyFeedTableViewCell
        cell.myHeadline?.text = userMagazineTitle[indexPath.row].title
        cell.indentationLevel = 3
        return cell
    }

You have added a UIVisualEffectView view on top of tableview, which is not passing the touch events to tableview.

Setting effectView.isUserInteractionEnabled = false, should make this view pass touch events to the views underneath.
