Detect and Remove blank tableViewCell in Swift - swift

Question

I have two tableView running in my project.I have successfully passed data between two tableView and saved it as a tableView array into my second tableView using segue.I have another function to connect my second tableview using tabBar button. Everytime, when I press the tabBar button it creates a blank tableViewCell at indexPath:0. I can understand why is happening but I am not sure how to stop. My code below
AppDelegate:
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
// Override point for customization after application launch.
let defaultValues = ["NewArray": [String]()]
UserDefaults.standard.register(defaults: defaultValues)
return true
}
MY Second VC
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
let defaults = UserDefaults.standard
newArray = defaults.array(forKey: "NewArray") as! [String]
// newArray.append(newItem)
newArray.insert(newItem, at: 0)
defaults.set(newArray, forKey: "NewArray")
self.favTableView?.reloadData()
}
Thanks in Advance...

Actually the easiest solution is to check if newItem is not empty, because if the view is presented from the segue a (non-empty) string is passed to the newItem property.
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let defaults = UserDefaults.standard
newArray = defaults.array(forKey: "NewArray") as! [String]
// newArray.append(newItem)
if !newItem.isEmpty {
newArray.insert(newItem, at: 0)
defaults.set(newArray, forKey: "NewArray")
}
self.favTableView?.reloadData()
}
