Change the font size of UISearchBar

Question

How can I change the font size of UISearchBar ?

Answer 1

If you need a convenient way to change all your application searchbars, here's a simple subclass in Swift 5:

class MySearchBar: UISearchBar {
    override func layoutSubviews() {
        super.layoutSubviews()

        if let textFieldInsideSearchBar = value(forKey: "searchField") as? UITextField {
            textFieldInsideSearchBar.font = UIFont(name: "Oswald-Light", size: 14)
        }
    }
}
