UISearchBar presented by UISearchController in table header view animates too far when active

Question

I am using UISearchController to present a search bar inside the header view of a tableview:

...
self.searchController.hidesNavigationBarDuringPresentation =         


        

Answer 1

I was able to prevent UISearchBar from shifting down by removing the following line from my ViewController: self.definesPresentationContext = YES;
