UITextField isn't white on iPhone simulator - Xcode 12.0.1

Question

When I create UITextField and place it on a View, it is displayed correctly (with white color) but when I run my app in simulator UITextField changes its color from default white to view's background color. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? See screenshots below.

Starting in Xcode 12 you will need to set the text field's background color, as it now defaults to nil (clear). So as @aheze mentioned you'll need to set it to white manually with yourTextField.backgroundColor = UIColor.white.
