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

In my case I don't want to hide the UINavigationBar but I had similar problems with gapes and other side effects. One of them was a missing UISearchBar after switching between UIViewControllers while the UISearchDisplayController is visible (I'm using SWRevealViewController to switch between UIViewController). This problem occurs only on iPads. It came out that the UISearchBar suddenly hides behind the UINavigationBar. Now I solved all my Problems with the following lines of code in the UITableViewController which is presented in a UIContainerView:

- (UINavigationController *)navigationController {
    return nil;
}

Those lines prevent the UISearchDisplayController to reach and change my UINavigationController. I also subclassed this method into "MyContainerTableViewController" class and use this class now for all embedded UITableViewController.

I'm still using UISearchDisplayController to Support iOS 7.
