Swift 5

class ViewController {
    override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewDidAppear(animated)
        // Only after viewDidAppear searchController can be activated
        searchController?.isActive = true
    }
}

extension ViewController: UISearchControllerDelegate {
    // didPresentSearchController not work for me
    func presentSearchController(_ searchController: UISearchController) {
        searchController.searchBar.becomeFirstResponder()
    }
