If you want to avoid the subclassing, implement

searchController.searchBar.showsCancelButton = false;

in these two delegate methods (Do not forget to assign delegates):

- (void)updateSearchResultsForSearchController:(UISearchController *)searchController

- (void)didPresentSearchController:(UISearchController *)searchController

The first one is called everytime you update the searchBar (Cancel button is visible by default) and the second one is for the first searchBar activation.
