Use the below code.It works for me:

searchField= [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,150,31)];
searchField.delegate = self;
searchField.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth;
searchField.textColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:102.0/255 green:102.0/255 blue:102.0/255 alpha:1.0];
searchField.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentLeft;
searchField.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica" size:15];
searchField.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo;
searchField.contentVerticalAlignment =UIControlContentVerticalAlignmentCenter;
searchField.clearsOnBeginEditing = NO;
searchField.autocapitalizationType = UITextAutocapitalizationTypeNone;
searchField.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo;
searchField.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeURL;
searchField.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeySearch;        
searchField.clearButtonMode = UITextFieldViewModeWhileEditing;
searchField.rightViewMode = UITextFieldViewModeUnlessEditing;
searchField.layer.cornerRadius = 17;
searchField.placeholder=@"Google Search";
searchField.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect;//To change borders to rounded
searchField.layer.borderWidth = 1.0f; //To hide the square corners 
searchField.layer.borderColor = [[UIColor grayColor] CGColor]; //assigning the default border color
UIBarButtonItem *searchFieldItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:searchField];
