iOS UITextField resignFirstResponder on viewWillDisappear

I have an application with two simple screen. The first screen always opens same instance of the second screen. The second screen has a text field and a button to manually hide keyboard.

The resignFirstResponder on viewWillDisappear is not working.

Case 1:

Case 2:

Code:

         @implementation MainViewController
        -(void) viewDidLoad {
            [super viewDidLoad];
            UIStoryboard *sb = [UIStoryboardWithName:@"Main" bundle:nil];
            self.searchView = (SearchViewController*) [sb instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"searchView"];
        }

        - (IBAction)openSearchButtonClicked:(id)sender{
            [self.navigationController pushViewController:self.searchView animated:YES];
        }
        @end

        @implementation SearchViewController
        - (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated{
            assert(self.searchTextField != nil);    
            [self.searchTextField resignFirstResponder];
            [super viewWillDisappear:animated];
        } 

        - (IBAction)hideKeyboardButtonClicked:(id)sender{
            [self.searchTextField resignFirstResponder];
        }
        @end

I have solved the problem with a workaround. I checked stack trace of textFieldDidBeginEditing after re-opening searchView. Somehow UIKit decides to call becomeFirstResponder on text field.

My solution is this: not allow text field to be first responder until the view controller appeared. However flashing white screen still occurs on iOS 10.2.

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated{
    [super viewDidAppear:animated];
    self.allowToBecomeFirstResponser = YES;
}
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField{
    return self.allowToBecomeFirstResponser ;
}
- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated{
    self.allowToBecomeFirstResponser = NO;
    [super viewWillDisappear:animated];
}

 -(BOOL) textFieldShouldReturn: (UITextField *) textField
 {
    [textField resignFirstResponder];
    return YES;
 }

But you need to add the UITextFieldDelegate to your SearchViewController to make -(BOOL) textFieldShouldReturn: work in there.
