Is it possible to programmatically change the height of a specific cell in UITableView to a forced value?

Yes, the height of a specific cell in UITableView can be programmatically changed to a fixed value. To do this, you need to implement the delegate method:

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGFloat {
    if indexPath.row == desiredCellIndex {
        return desiredHeight
    }
    return UITableView.automaticDimension // or another height for the rest
}

This method is called for each cell, and you can return a specific height for the desired cell. After changing the height, you can call tableView.reloadData() or tableView.beginUpdates() / tableView.endUpdates() for animated changes.
