Hi all,

I am implementing a search bar as a table view header in my universal 
(iPhone/iPad) app. The table view is inside a navigation controller. What I 
want to do is mimic the behavior of Apple’s ‘Messages’ app for my search bar. 
However, I can’t seem to figure out how to do it despite lots of research 
(Stack Overflow, this list, Google).

On the phone when you tap in the search text field in Messages everything moves 
up so that the search bar is just under the status bar and the status bar 
background turns gray (same color as the search bar). In my app everything 
moves up but the status bar background remains its original white color. This 
looks okay, just different, but I suspect is linked to the problem below.

On the iPad in Messages the behavior is the same. The status bar background 
above the list of messages turns gray when you tap in the search field. In my 
app on the iPad the navigation controller is inside a split view controller 
(which appears to be the case for Messages). Here when I tap in the search text 
field everything moves up, but the navigation bar text also moves up and is 
partly visible under the status bar, which retains its original color. The 
search bar looks to be snug against the status bar, the navigation bar text 
(title etc) seems to have invaded the status bar.

Can anyone tell me what is going on? How do I get the status bar to turn color 
(and hide the navigation bar text on the iPad). This is an older project and 
uses xib files. Is there some setting in the xib file to choose?

Thanks for any pointers,

Don
