This is my first application for iOS.
So I have a UIVIewController with a UITableView where I have integrated a UISearchBar and a
Building on Mehrdad's answer: I had to first check if the search controller is active (if the user is currently searching):
if self.searchController.isActive {
self.searchController.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
} else {
self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
where alert is the view controller to present modally.
