Not compatible with UISearchDisplayController

[futuretap]

When the returnToRefererView is shown in a setup with a UINavigationController containing a UITableViewController with a searchBar on top, there are a couple of issues:

• the searchBar can't be scrolled in completely. It's only shown by 10 pt or so, the rest is covered by the navigation bar. It looks like the contentInsets are wrong.
• when I actually manage to tap that small part of the searchBar to activate UISearchDisplayController, the searchBar is almost completely covered by the returnToRefererView.
• When search mode is ended, the returnToRefererView is not shown anymore. It is displayed again when search is activated again.
• when returnToRefererView is closed while search is active, the searchBar moves down not up and reveals an empty gap where the returnToRefererView was before.

To me it looks like it's not a good idea to mess with the navigationBar position!

I got the same issue and have tried to fix it by getting into BFAppLinkReturnToRefererController and BFAppLinkReturnToRefererView classes but no results.

I tried to add the referrer view to the navigation.view and change its position to be visible:

- (void)viewDidLoad {
//...
    _returnToReferrerView.frame = CGRectMake(0, -44, 320, 44);
    _returnToReferrerView.delegate = self;
    [self.navigationController.view addSubview:_returnToReferrerView];
//...
}
- (void)displayReferreView {
    CGRect frame = self.navigationController.view.frame;
    frame.origin.y = 44;
    self.navigationController.view.frame = frame;
    self.navigationController.navigationBar.frame = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 320.0, 44.0);
    [self.navigationController.view bringSubviewToFront:_returnToReferrerView];
}

The issue here is that label view is no more touchable, no way to interact with theses buttons.

So I back to the Bolts' solution:

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];

    if (!self.returnToRefererController) {
        // fake data
        NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:BFURLWithRefererData];
        BFAppLink *appLink = [[BFURL URLWithURL:url] appLinkReferer];

        // init for display above nav controller
        self.returnToRefererController =
        [[BFAppLinkReturnToRefererController alloc] initForDisplayAboveNavController:self.navigationController];

        [self.returnToRefererController showViewForRefererAppLink:appLink];

        return;
    }
}

• [1] after launching the app, all views are well positioned
• [2] push a view controller then pop to the root, self.view changes origin.y automatically (even if I try to force it).
• [3] UISearchDisplayController is active.
• [4] present then dismiss a view controller, I got an empty view (no interaction enabled).

Do you have any ideas ?

With this context, I cannot figure out the entire story. You first solution should be working, but did you call "[self.returnToRefererController showViewForRefererAppLink:appLink];" ?

Here is a working sample shows the minimum steps that make it work. https://github.com/AppLinks/Samples/blob/master/iOS/PrimeNumbersSample/PrimeNumbersSampleApp/PNDefinitionViewController.m
