This solution is in Swift, can be adapted to objective-c. You can find the segmented control view using below function

func findSegmentedControl(view : UIView) -> UIView? {
    for v in view.subviews {
        if v is UISegmentedControl {
            print(v)
            return v
        } else {
            if let found = findSegmentedControl(view : v) {
                return found
            }
        }
    }
    return nil
}

and then set tint color of the view. calling this function will be like this:

if let segmentedView = findSegmentedControl(view: searchController.searchBar) {                
            segmentedView.tintColor = UIColor.white
        }
