UISearchBar inside a NavigationBar Get Deferenced When Keyboard Shows Up

I'm putting a search bar inside a navigation bar. here is the code

self.navigationBar =[[UINavigationBar alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.bounds.size.width, 64)];
[self.view addSubview:self.navigationBar];

self.doneButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemDone
                                                           target:self
                                                           action:@selector(doneButtonPressed)];
self.searchBar = [[UISearchBar alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.bounds.size.width, 64)];
self.searchBar.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo;
self.searchBar.placeholder = @"Name of City";
self.searchBar.delegate = self;

self.searchController = [[UISearchDisplayController alloc]initWithSearchBar:self.searchBar contentsController:self];
self.searchController.delegate = self;
self.searchController.searchResultsDelegate = self;
self.searchController.searchResultsDataSource = self;
self.searchController.searchResultsTitle = @"Add Location";
self.searchController.displaysSearchBarInNavigationBar = YES;
self.searchController.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems = @[self.doneButton];
self.navigationBar.items = @[self.searchController.navigationItem];

but the search bar behaves incorrectly.

I'm expecting it would look like this enter image description here

I've fixed this by bring the navigationBar to front after setting searchBar as the first responder

[self.searchController setActive:YES animated:NO];
[self.searchController.searchBar becomeFirstResponder];
[self.view bringSubviewToFront:self.navigationBar]; //this is the line I add
