Searchbar Text color on viewDidLoad

Question

Does anyone know why setting the text color of the search bar programmatically in viewDidLoad does not work and is requiring setting it to .white in viewWillAppear?

var searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: nil)

searchController.searchBar.delegate = self
    
searchController.searchBar.sizeToFit()
searchController.obscuresBackgroundDuringPresentation = false
searchController.hidesNavigationBarDuringPresentation = false

searchController.searchBar.placeholder = "Search here"
searchController.searchBar.searchTextField.textColor = .white

self.navigationItem.searchController = searchController

yes we did it because due to searchController initialization delay so — Zeeshan Ahmad II, May 20 '22 at 13:44
not by design because viewWillAppear call after a viewDidLoad and viewDidAppear call after viewWillAppear so some of ui updates should not be executed in viewDidLoad due to its early execution. that's why — Zeeshan Ahmad II, May 24 '22 at 04:40

As mentioned above, this has to be done in ViewWillAppear
