UITableView content overlaps Status Bar when UISearchBar is active

ios uitableview uisearchbar uisearchdisplaycontroller uicontainerview

I have search this for hours and my final result was to put this line in viewDidLoad: self.extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = YES;

Problem solved :)

Try setting the definesPresentationContext in viewDidLoad of your TableViewController

Swift

override func viewDidLoad() {    super.viewDidLoad()    definesPresentationContext = true}

Objective-C

- (void)viewDidLoad {    [super viewDidLoad];    self.definesPresentationContext = YES;}

Here's what worked for me:

DO:

Use UISearchController (not a separately placed UISearchBar)
Place your VC in a UINavigationController if it isn't already. Set the nav not to "Show Navigation Bar" if desired.
Use autolayout for the UITableView (not springs and struts) and pin the top of the table to the top of the VC's view.
Add this delegate method:

- (UIBarPosition)positionForBar:(id<UIBarPositioning>)bar { return UIBarPositionTopAttached;}

DON'T:
