I am using this library: https://github.com/xmartlabs/XLPagerTabStrip

My problem is that I can't resolve an issue with adding a UISearchController for one of ButtonBarPagerTabStripViewController child viewController - UITableViewController.

The searchBar does not appear when trying to add it under iOS 11+ like this:

navigationItem.searchController = searchController
navigationItem.hidesSearchBarWhenScrolling = true

and when trying to add UISearchBar to tableView as this:

tableView.tableHeaderView = searchController.searchBar

then after tapping into the search field the whole UISearchBar disappears.

Do you know any proper way how to implement UISearchController in a UITableViewController with ButtonBarPagerTabStripViewController as a one of childs?

Seems like an overdue answer but hopefully will help others who might have the same issue.

adding following properties to your searchbar fixes the issue: 

searchController.hidesNavigationBarDuringPresentation = false
searchController.definesPresentationContext = false

Put this code in the container controller, the one that extends ButtonBarPagerTabStripViewController

definesPresentationContext = true

and put this code in the Child View Controllers

definesPresentationContext = false
