UISearchController doesn't work properly with a non-translucent UINavigationBar

Question

Currently I am trying to embed a UISearchController into my application. But the UISearchBar, which is a property of the UISearchController, doesn\'t get displayed properly,

Answer 1

It's clearly a bug (rdar://20942583).

My workaround is to set

self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeAll;
self.extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = YES;

This allows you to keep the navigation bar opaque. The downside is that the content flows below the bar even if it can't be seen, creating some overhead.
