UITableViewCell Custom Layout and Border UIBubble - xcode

Question

You probably used Messenger iOS App, it has a nice UITableViewCell.
I've googled everywhere so my search leaded me to UIBubbleView, but it's written entirely in Objective-C and unfortunately my background is with Swift, Also it has a lot of configuration e.g. Dynamic cell hight, supports images etc..
Anyway i have the design and i already done it in Illustrator but i was wondering how to replace the Cell with my designed .png
Any suggestions or tutorials i would be very thankful

To answer the first part of your question, here is a link. This is a customized UI that works just like any other messaging apps.

For the second part of the question, this might be a useful solution.
For Cell
cell.backgroundView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[ [UIImage imageNamed:#"cell_normal.png"] stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth:0.0 topCapHeight:5.0] ];
cell.selectedBackgroundView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[ [UIImage imageNamed:#"cell_pressed.png"] stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth:0.0 topCapHeight:5.0] ];
For Tableview
[mEditTableView setBackgroundView:nil];
[mEditTableView setBackgroundView:[[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"apple.png"]] ];
This is a delegate method, works fine as well.
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell (UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
if((indexPath.row)==0)
cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"cell_normal.PNG"]]; //set image for cell 0
if (indexPath.row==1)
cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:.8 green:.6 blue:.6 alpha:1]; //set color for cell 1
tableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage: [UIImage imageNamed: #"cloud.jpg"]]; //set image for UITableView
}
