Change the font size of UISearchBar

Question

How can I change the font size of UISearchBar ?

Answer 1

The safe way for performing this operation is as follows:

for(UIView *subView in searchBar.subviews) {
    if ([subView isKindOfClass:[UITextField class]]) {
        UITextField *searchField = (UITextField *)subView;
        searchField.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Oswald" size:11];
    }
}

Why is this safer than the accepted answer? Because it doesn't rely on the index of the UITextField staying constant. (it's also a cleaner for loop)
