UISearchController: searchBar and scopeBar overlap on first touch event

Question

I\'m trying to implement a simple search bar using Apple\'s latest UISearchController. However I can\'t seem to get it to work correctly if I use the search bar

Answer 1

Update for swift 3:

searchController.searchBar.showsScopeBar = false

Update for swift 4:

It seems that in swift 4 and ios 11 the search bar got changed. With the method showed above the scope bar will be inside the search bar in some cases.

if #available(iOS 11.0, *) {
        navigationItem.searchController = searchController
        navigationItem.hidesSearchBarWhenScrolling = false
    } else {
        tableView.tableHeaderView = searchController.searchBar
    }

This fixed it for me. I use the the form shown above if ios 10 is available. If ios 11 is available i change my technic and set the navigation view controller to the search controller. You will notice it looks exactly as on ios 10
