iOS 7 UISearchBar right spacing

Don't know why, my search bar in iOS 7 is leaving a right space. It's ok in iOS 6.

I know it has something to do with the section index, because if I remove it the space disappears, but I don't know how to fix it. Any thoughts?

self.contactsTableView.sectionIndexBackgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

The reason for that white edge is because your index layer has a white background and is on top of the search bar. This should be sufficient.

The problem is the right white block, so if we change the block color the same as the search bar background, it looks normal.

just 

if (IOS7) {
    self.tableview.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:self.searchBar.backgroundImage];
}

I had this same issue with the iPhone 6/ 6Plus when using a SearchDisplayController. (Using Swift)

I tried setting the frame of the search bar but with no luck but i noticed that if i tapped on the textField of the UISearchBar and then cancelled it then it would take on the proper size of the view. I therefore managed to fix the issue by calling the code below in ViewDidLoad of the viewController using the search.

self.searchController.setActive(true, animated: false)
self.searchController.setActive(false, animated: false)

The accepted solution with the method viewDidLayoutSubviews makes the screen flicker. Instead what I did was create a subclass of UISearchBar that simply does this:

FullWidthSearchBar.h:

@interface FullWidthSearchBar : UISearchBar
@end

FullWidthSearchBar.m:

#import "FullWidthSearchBar.h"
@implementation FullWidthSearchBar

- (void)setFrame:(CGRect)frame {
    frame.size.width = self.superview.bounds.size.width;
    [super setFrame:frame];
}

@end

And then I assigned that class to the search bar on my xib:

Add the search bar inside a UIView put as tableView's header view. Set the tableview's sectionIndexBackgroundColor to clear color because it covers the header.

Tested with iOS 7, 7.1;

I added the search bar as a subview of the top-level view instead of the table view. Used autolayout to pin the searchbar to the top guide, and a vertical space constraint of 0 between the search bar and the table view.

Embed your UISearchBar in a UIView and then add that as the tableHeaderView. Structuring it that way in a storyboard worked for me. I'm guessing iOS resizes the UISearchBar in the tableHeaderView, but leaves a basic UIView alone (and doesn't bother to look inside it).

You might also want to make the section index transparent, which I did with:

[[UITableView appearance] setSectionIndexBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[[UITableView appearance] setSectionIndexTrackingBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];

Because the table view always leaves 15px on the right for section Indexes View, so you should resize the Seach bar after reloading the table view

First:

self.tblData.sectionIndexBackgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor]; //(iOS >= 7 only)

Cheating time:

- (void)scrollViewDidEndDragging:(UIScrollView *)scrollView willDecelerate:(BOOL)decelerate
{

    [self performSelector:@selector(resizeSearchBar) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.01];
}
- (void) resizeSearchBar
{
    CGRect frame = self.searchBar.frame;
    if (frame.size.width < self.tblData.frame.size.width) {
        frame.size.width = self.tblData.frame.size.width;
    }
    self.searchBar.frame = frame;
}
- (void) reloadTableData // call it anytime you want to reload table view
{
    [self.tblData reloadData];
    [self performSelector:@selector(resizeSearchBar) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.01];
}

Suggest Dont cheat like me, just do the simpler way:

self.searchBar.searchBarStyle = UISearchBarStyleMinimal; // iOS >= 7 only

Until a better answer appears, I just manually changed the frame of the search bar like this:

- (void)viewDidLayoutSubviews {
    [super viewDidLayoutSubviews];        

    CGRect barFrame = self.searchBar.frame;
    barFrame.size.width = self.view.bounds.size.width;
    self.searchBar.frame = barFrame;

}

I also attached a UISearcBar in my application, and nothing is wrong there even my application supports rotation also.

Could you try removing and re creating UISearchBar in storyboard/xib
