UISearchController with large titles crashes in Tab bar with "Only one palette with a top boundary edge can be active outside of a transition"

I have multiple tabs in a UITabBarController. All of them have a UINavigationBar with large titles and a iOS-11-built-in-search-bar. However, switching between the tabs makes the app crash with

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason:
'Only one palette with a top boundary edge can be active outside of a transition. Current active palette is 
<_UINavigationControllerManagedSearchPalette: 0x7fc399b49980; frame = (0 96; 375 52); layer = <CALayer: 0x60c0004383a0>>'

I've tested the workaround posted here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/46382723/511299 without success. This question did not use a UITabBarController.

I've added this code to viewDidAppear:

DispatchQueue.main.async {
    let searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: nil)
    searchController.searchResultsUpdater = self
    self.navigationItem.searchController = searchController
}

and this to viewWillDisappear:

self.navigationItem.searchController = nil

Adding prints to each method to check the order verifies that is nils out the previous view before setting it on the appearing view.

It crashes after going from tab 0 to tab 1, then back to tab 0. I do not even need to scroll down to show the searchbar.

Full stack trace:

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'Only one palette with a top boundary edge can be active outside of a transition. Current active palette is <_UINavigationControllerManagedSearchPalette: 0x7fea7dcaf880; frame = (0 44; 375 52); layer = <CALayer: 0x60000062ac20>>'

These lines solved my problem.

let search = UISearchController(searchResultsController: nil)
    search.obscuresBackgroundDuringPresentation = false
    self.definesPresentationContext = true

I have tried to recreate the issue but everything seems fine when I added the code in func viewDidLoad()

Below is the code for adding search view controller in iOS11

    if #available(iOS 11.0, *) {
        //Setup Search Controller
        self.searchController.obscuresBackgroundDuringPresentation = false
        self.searchController.searchBar.placeholder = "Search"
        self.searchController.searchBar.barStyle = .black
        self.searchController.searchBar.delegate = self
        self.definesPresentationContext = true
        self.navigationItem.searchController = searchController
        self.navigationItem.title = "Heading 2"
    }

I have also created a demo project for you please find it in Github Here

I have added this code in viewDidLoad() and it's working

Try to add this line of code:

searchController.dimsBackgroundDuringPresentation
