UITableView content overlaps Status Bar when UISearchBar is active

Question

I have a UITableViewController with a UISearchBar and UISearchDisplayController. That exists inside a Container View in a UIViewController which is in a UINavigationController.

Answer 1

Here's what worked for me:

DO:

• Use UISearchController (not a separately placed UISearchBar)
• Place your VC in a UINavigationController if it isn't already. Set the nav not to "Show Navigation Bar" if desired.
• Use autolayout for the UITableView (not springs and struts) and pin the top of the table to the top of the VC's view.
• Add this delegate method:

- (UIBarPosition)positionForBar:(id)bar { return UIBarPositionTopAttached; }

DON'T:

• Fiddle with edgesForExtendedLayout
• Fiddle with extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars
• Fiddle with the table's contentInset
