Answer 1

Swift 4, iOS 11

It works for me

// 1.
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewDidAppear(animated)

    resultSearchController.isActive = true
}

// 2. ->> UISearchControllerDelegate
func didPresentSearchController(_ searchController: UISearchController) {

    DispatchQueue.main.async {
        searchController.searchBar.becomeFirstResponder()
    }
}
