How do you keep the cancel button in the search bar enabled when the keyboard is dismissed?

Question

Answer 1

Try this simple solution, works perfect for me

extension UISearchBar {

    func enableCancelButton(in view: UIView) {

        view.subviews.forEach {
            enableCancelButton(in: $0)
        }

        if let cancelButton = view as? UIButton {
            cancelButton.isEnabled = true
            cancelButton.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
        }
    }
}

extension ViewController: UISearchBarDelegate {

    func searchBarTextDidEndEditing(_ searchBar: UISearchBar) {
        DispatchQueue.main.async {
            searchBar.enableCancelButton(in: searchBar)
        }
    }
}
