Answer 1

Swift 3

func searchBarShouldBeginEditing(_ searchBar: UISearchBar) -> Bool {
    searchBar.showsCancelButton = true
    return true
}

func searchBarTextDidEndEditing(_ searchBar: UISearchBar) {
    self.searchBar.endEditing(true)
    searchBar.resignFirstResponder()
}

func searchBarSearchButtonClicked(_ searchBar: UISearchBar) {
    searchBar.resignFirstResponder()
}

func searchBarCancelButtonClicked(_ searchBar: UISearchBar) {
    self.searchBar.endEditing(true)
    searchBar.showsCancelButton = false
    searchBar.resignFirstResponder()
}

The Cancel button appears only when the user start entering characters in the field.
