Change UISearchBar cancel button text in iOS 8

Question

I\'d like to change the text from "Cancel" to "Done" of the Cancel button inside the UISearchBar in iOS 8. I am using UISearchControll

Answer 1

Found it!. in iOS 8, the cancel button is under the key "cancelButton". I used UISearchBar delegate searchBarTextDidBeginEditing to make the change.

func searchBarTextDidBeginEditing(searchBar: UISearchBar) {
    let uiButton = searchBar.valueForKey("cancelButton") as UIButton
    uiButton.setTitle("Done", forState: UIControlState.Normal)

}
