manually start refreshing UIRefreshControl on swift 3.0 and iOS 10

Question

for some time I was using code like

extension UIRefreshControl {
    func beginRefreshingManually() {
      if let scrollView = superview as? UIScrollView {
        scrollView.setContentOffset(CGPoint(x: 0, y: scrollView.contentOffset.y - frame.height), animated: false)
      }
      beginRefreshing()
}}

To start manually refreshing (show spinning circle) in viewDidLoad of UIViewControllers and it works like a charm.

After migrating to swift 3.0 and iOS 10 it suddenly stops. Moreover, I tried to move invocation into viewDidAppear, and for my frustration, on some controllers it works, and on some not (If there is any pattern, I was unable to find it)

any solutions ?

There is a change in UIRefreshControl for iOS 10. You have been adding refresh control like this: scrollView.addSubview(refreshControl). Now, ScrollView, CollectionView and TableView have refreshControl property, so this is a code now: scrollView.refreshControl = refreshControl

tableView had a refreshControl property before, so it is not the issue – wojciech_maciejewski Oct 28 '16 at 08:43
