Can the height of the UISearchbar TextField be modified?

Question

I\'m testing out my UI and I find the search bar a little bit too narrow for my liking. I also want to make sure people with poorer vision or poorer manual dexterity have n

For swift 5.0 it works good:

extension UIImage {
    class func image(color: UIColor, size: CGSize = CGSize(width: 1, height: 1)) -> UIImage {
        return UIGraphicsImageRenderer(size: size).image { rendererContext in
            color.setFill()
            rendererContext.fill(CGRect(origin: .zero, size: size))
        }
    }
}

extension UISearchBar {
    func customize() {
        setSearchFieldBackgroundImage(UIImage.image(color: .clear, size: CGSize(width: 1, height: 44)), for: .normal)

        // other settings
        searchBarStyle = .minimal
        searchTextPositionAdjustment = UIOffset(horizontal: 0, vertical: 0)
        tintColor = .black
        backgroundColor = .whiteBackground
        searchTextField.leftViewMode = .never
        searchTextField.textColor = .black
        searchTextField.backgroundColor = UIColor.lightGrayBackground
        searchTextField.layer.borderColor = UIColor.gray.cgColor
        searchTextField.cornerRadius = 22
        searchTextField.borderWidth = 0.5
    }
}

Just use:

let searchBar = UISearchBar()
searchBar.customize()
