iOS 7.1 UISearchBar gray view

Question

I work at an application and I tested today on iOS 7.1. Until now my search bar was normal:

iOS 7.0.3

But now I have this problem:

iOS 7.1

A gray view appears and I don't know how to remove it because I don't have this view in my code. Does anyone have the same problem? It is an iOS 7.1 bug?

Confirmed: I am having this problem too (cept with a black background) — Max Chuquimia, Mar 12 '14 at 23:54

My quick fix used some code I found here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/18664917/1153630

And then:

searchBar.backgroundImage = [UIImage imageWithColor:[UIColor clearColor]];

I'm still not very impressed by it though: will update answer when I find a better way.

`[UIImage imageWithColor:[UIColor clearColor]]` does not exists. – Jeremy C. Mar 15 '14 at 20:48
@JeremyC. please checkout the first link in my answer to create that method! – Max Chuquimia Mar 15 '14 at 22:02
@Jugale - Good catch, nifty little category! – Jeremy C. Mar 17 '14 at 21:49

As @dave noted above, you can just use say:

searchBar.backgroundImage = [[UIImage alloc] init];

which avoids the need for the category on UIImage incorporated in @Jugale's example.
