Answer 1

For iOS7+, all you need to do is:

[self.searchBarHome setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]]; [self.searchBarHome setBarTintColor:[UIColor clearColor]]; //this is what you want 

NOTE: This will not work for iOS6

For iOS6+, the following will take care of it even in iOS7:

[self.searchBarHome setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]]; [self.searchBarHome setBackgroundImage:[UIImage new]]; [self.searchBarHome setTranslucent:YES];
