UISearchBar weird bar line

Question

I am working on UISearchBar which I have created programmatically. Below is what I am having an issue with:

How can I get rid of that line on this search bar?

The code is as following:

[self setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[self setBarStyle:UIBarStyleDefault];
[self setTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
[self setShowsCancelButton:NO];

This has been asked and solved here:[Customize UISearchBar](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7620564/customize-uisearchbar-trying-to-get-rid-of-1px-black-line-underneath-the-search?rq=1) — SethHB, Aug 16 '12 at 23:30

You are setting the background color as clearColor. You can remove the background view of UISearchBar instead :

for(UIView *view in [searchBar subviews]){
    if([view isKindOfClass:NSClassFromString(@"UISearchBarBackground")]){
        [view removeFromSuperview];
    }
}

// in the above code in place of "searchBar" you have to use "self"

You can use

  [[UISearchBar appearance] setSearchFieldBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"someImage.png"]forState:UIControlStateNormal];

on iOS 5+ to get rid of the line.

What I did was change the backing layer:

self.searchBar.layer.borderWidth = 1;
self.searchBar.layer.borderColor = [[UIColor redColor] CGColor];
