ios - UISearchController Not Redisplaying Navigation Bar on Rotate

Question

I have implemented the UISearchController and it is working great except...

When I click on the Search Bar the Navigation Bar disappears nicely as expected. When I rotate the phone to landscape view I get this view which makes sense.

However, when I rotate the phone back to portrait view (still selected in search type area) I get this following view.

You can see that the Navigation Bar never reappears. I feel I'm implementing a basic search controller. What could possibly be causing this?

self.venueSearchController = [[UISearchController alloc] initWithSearchResultsController:nil];
self.venueSearchController.searchResultsUpdater = self;
self.venueSearchController.searchBar.delegate = self;
self.venueSearchController.dimsBackgroundDuringPresentation = NO;
self.venueSearchController.hidesNavigationBarDuringPresentation = YES;
self.venueSearchController.searchBar.frame = CGRectMake(self.venueSearchController.searchBar.frame.origin.x, self.venueSearchController.searchBar.frame.origin.y, self.venueSearchController.searchBar.frame.size.width, 44.0);

self.definesPresentationContext = YES;

self.navigationController.navigationBar.translucent = YES;
self.venueSearchController.searchBar.translucent = YES;

self.tableView.tableHeaderView = self.venueSearchController.searchBar;

It looks like the UISearchController forgets to reset the frame of the searchBar when the status bar reappears. I think this is probably a bug in UISearchController; there seem to be a few listed in radar. It seems the searchBar's superview (which is internal to the UISearchController) ends up with the wrong height. This is vexing since the solution therefore involves reaching into the searchController's view hierarchy, which Apple could change... you might want to add a check of the iOS version so it only runs for specified versions.

If you add the code below to your view controller, it will be called when the trait collection changes. It checks to see a) the search controller is active, b) the statusBar is not hidden, and c) the searchBar origin-y is 0, and if so it increases the height of the superview by the height of the statusBar, which moves the searchBar down.

override func traitCollectionDidChange(previousTraitCollection: UITraitCollection?) {
    let app = UIApplication.sharedApplication()
    if searchController!.active && !app.statusBarHidden && searchController?.searchBar.frame.origin.y == 0 {
        if let container = self.searchController?.searchBar.superview {
            container.frame = CGRectMake(container.frame.origin.x, container.frame.origin.y, container.frame.size.width, container.frame.size.height + app.statusBarFrame.height)
        }
    }
}

Objective C

- (void) traitCollectionDidChange: (UITraitCollection *) previousTraitCollection {

    [super traitCollectionDidChange: previousTraitCollection];

    if(self.venueSearchController.active && ![UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarHidden && self.venueSearchController.searchBar.frame.origin.y == 0)
    {
        UIView *container = self.venueSearchController.searchBar.superview;

        container.frame = CGRectMake(container.frame.origin.x, container.frame.origin.y, container.frame.size.width, container.frame.size.height + [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarFrame.size.height);
    }
}
