Cannot set UISearchBar's translucent property to NO

I am trying to set the barTintColor of a UISearchBar without translucency. However, setting the translucent property doesn't seem to do anything. I have reproduced the issue in a bare-bones Xcode project here.

self.searchDisplayController.searchBar.translucent = NO;
self.searchDisplayController.searchBar.barTintColor = [UIColor redColor];

The red color above is not the same as [UIColor redColor] in UIViews that are not translucent. I know about the workaround involving setting a background image on the search bar, but the above code should work as well.

Maybe too late for the party,

However I've done a very simple and nifty extension for Swift 3 that allows you to use the translucent property without any trouble.

It involves no use of private API or dangerous walk-through within the object.

You can download it from this Github repository.

Please set image in search bar like this it will solve your problem.

[[UISearchBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"red"]];

I downloaded your code and find solution for, add one method name is removeUISearchBarBackgroundInViewHierarchy and set searchBar.backgroundColor as redColor.

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    self.searchDisplayController.searchBar.translucent = NO;

    [self removeUISearchBarBackgroundInViewHierarchy:self.searchDisplayController.searchBar];
    self.searchDisplayController.searchBar.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
}

- (void) removeUISearchBarBackgroundInViewHierarchy:(UIView *)view
{
    for (UIView *subview in [view subviews]) {
        if ([subview isKindOfClass:NSClassFromString(@"UISearchBarBackground")]) {
            [subview removeFromSuperview];
            break; //To avoid an extra loop as there is only one UISearchBarBackground
        } else {
            [self removeUISearchBarBackgroundInViewHierarchy:subview];
        }
    }
}
