Excellent answer, in my novice opinion we could also try using the member of the UI Search bar called searchTextField which is ultimately a subclass of UITextField but we can get away without using

if let textfield = scb.value(forKey: "searchField") as? UITextField
//we could use 
let textField = scb.searchTextField
followed by the same changes made to the views layer, cornerRadius etc

This will help you to achieve, what you want. Just apply your color combination in this code and see.

if #available(iOS 11.0, *) {
            let sc = UISearchController(searchResultsController: nil)
            sc.delegate = self
            let scb = sc.searchBar
            scb.tintColor = UIColor.white
            scb.barTintColor = UIColor.white


            if let textfield = scb.value(forKey: "searchField") as? UITextField {
                //textfield.textColor = // Set text color
                if let backgroundview = textfield.subviews.first {

                    // Background color
                    backgroundview.backgroundColor = UIColor.white

                    // Rounded corner
                    backgroundview.layer.cornerRadius = 10;
                    backgroundview.clipsToBounds = true;

                }
            }

            if let navigationbar = self.navigationController?.navigationBar {
                navigationbar.barTintColor = UIColor.blue
            }
            navigationItem.searchController = sc
            navigationItem.hidesSearchBarWhenScrolling = false

}

Result:
