Right Align UISearchbar placeholder

Question

This code used to work, but after ios 10 it has stopped functioning:

UITextField *searchTextField = [_searchBar valueForKey:@"_searchField"];
searchTextField.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentRight

I have tried both paragraph and attributedPlaceholder, but the placeholder is always left aligned. The bug appears in xcode 7 and 8. How can I resolve this?

Don't use a UISearchBar if you need to do these kinds of customizations. You'll have to make your own using a UITextField and a UIImageView, and responding to the delegate calls.
