Status bar changes color when searching

Question

I'm using a UISearchController that, when clicked, makes the navigation bar rise and turn the status bar white. I want the status bar to remain green.

My UISearchController implementation:

self.resultSearchController = ({
        let controller = UISearchController(searchResultsController: nil)
        controller.searchResultsUpdater = self
        controller.dimsBackgroundDuringPresentation = false
        controller.searchBar.sizeToFit()
        controller.searchBar.placeholder = "Pesquisa por linha ou cod..."
        controller.searchBar.tintColor = UIColor(netHex: 0xFFFFFF)
        controller.searchBar.barTintColor = UIColor(netHex: 0x2F7C30)
        controller.searchBar.clipsToBounds = true
        controller.searchBar.layer.borderWidth = 1;
        controller.searchBar.layer.borderColor = UIColor(netHex: 0x2F7C30).CGColor
        self.navigationController!.view.backgroundColor = UIColor(netHex: 0x2F7C30)

        self.tableView.tableHeaderView = controller.searchBar

        return controller
    })()

Before clicking on the search bar

After clicking on the search bar

Playing off of Daniel Storm's response. Adding the subview to the UISearchController's view solved the issue for me.

let statusBarView = UIView(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0,
    UIApplication.sharedApplication().statusBarFrame.size.width,
    UIApplication.sharedApplication().statusBarFrame.size.height))
statusBarView.backgroundColor = Colors.Primary.Regular
searchController.view.addSubview(statusBarView)

Put a UIView behind your status bar with the background color you need.

let statusBarView = UIView(frame: UIApplication.sharedApplication().statusBarFrame)
statusBarView.backgroundColor = UIColor.greenColor() // Replace with color you desire
view.addSubview(statusBarView)
