Styling the cancel button in a UISearchBar

Question

I have a UISearchBar that has a cancel button (it\'s displayed using -(void)setShowsCancelButton:animated). I\'ve changed the tintColor of the sear

Answer 1

The best way to style the cancelButton is without using UIAppearance is like this it is for Swift5 iOS13 and it works best with UISearchResultController.searchBar too

extension UISearchBar {
    func changeSearchBarAppearance(appearance: MyAppearance) {
        self.barTintColor = appearance.searchbar.barTintColor
        self.tintColor  =  appearance.searchbar.tintColor
        if let textField = self.subviews.first?.subviews.last?.subviews.first {
            textField.tintColor = .black
        }
    }
}

setting serachBar tintColor will set the tintColor of all items including the cancelButton but with this the blinker in the searchField will also be set with the same tintColor so find the textfield and set its tintColor will solve the blinker issue
