Change font for a programmatically created UISearchBar

I have found that the code in my AppDelegate:

[[UITextField appearanceWhenContainedIn:[UISearchBar class], nil]
 setFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:14]];

works to change the font of a UISearchBar created from IB. No problems there.

However, if I create the UISearchBar in code as such:

UISearchBar *bar = [[UISearchBar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 44)];
bar.placeholder = @"test";
[self.view addSubview:bar];

Then the above UITextField appearance code has no effect. Is there a way to change the font of a programmatically created UISearchBar?

Thank you!

You can use this 

UITextField *textField = [self.searchBar valueForKey: @"_searchField"];
[textField setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue-Light" size:17.0]];

Hope this will help.

Try this,It's Working Fine for iOS 5.0 and up: (iOS 7 also)

[[UITextField appearanceWhenContainedIn:[UISearchBar class], nil] setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"League Gothic" size:20]];
