Cannot set searchBar as firstResponder

Question

I have a searchBar I\'m setting in a tableviewcontroller. i\'ve referenced this similar question UISearchBar cannot become first responder after UITableView did re-appear bu

Answer 1

This is what it worked for me in Swift 3.

override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewDidAppear(animated)
    self.perform(#selector(self.showKeyboard), with: nil, afterDelay: 0.1)
}

func showKeyboard() {
    self.searchController.searchBar.becomeFirstResponder()
}
