UISearchDisplayController causes crash after viewDidUnload

Question

I have a project using StoryBoards and UISearchDisplayController used in the context of a UINavigationController, that appears in the root viewcont

Answer 1

Here is what I did (granted, it's a workaround and not a fix for Apple's bug):

First, in a base UIViewController I created a property called searchController:

@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UISearchDisplayController* searchController;

I added a UISearchBar in through interface builder so that I have a placeholder in my UI for it. Then, in my viewDidLoad I manually setup the controller and wire it up:

UISearchDisplayController* searchController = [[UISearchDisplayController alloc] 
                             initWithSearchBar:self.searchBar contentsController:self];
searchController.searchResultsDataSource = self;
searchController.searchResultsDelegate = self;
searchController.delegate = self;

self.searchController = searchController;
[searchController release];

In my viewDidUnload I make sure to clear it out:

self.searchController = nil;
