iOS: TableView search moving up and dimming stays

[m1ga]

I have searched and made sure there are no existing issues for the issue I am filing

• [x] I have searched the existing issues

Description

const win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
  title: 'Window',
  //extendEdges: [Titanium.UI.EXTEND_EDGE_ALL],
  //autoAdjustScrollViewInsets:true
});
var newData = Ti.UI.createTableViewRow({
  title: 'element 1'
})
var newData2 = Ti.UI.createTableViewRow({
  title: 'row 2'
})
var newData3 = Ti.UI.createTableViewRow({
  title: 'item 3'
})
const table = Ti.UI.createTableView({
  search: Ti.UI.createSearchBar(),
  data: [newData, newData2, newData3]
});
win.add(table);
win.open();

TableView is acting strange in iOS26: when I click in the TableView search bar it will move up and the dimming area stays at the correct position. Then when I type it looks fine. Removing all text will show a fullscreen dim area above everything.

If I add extendSafeArea:false it looks like this:

it stays in place but the dimming area is pushed down.

Expected Behavior

search view staying inside the safe area, dimming area show go away when the text in the searchbar is removed.

Actual behavior

Steps to reproduce

TableView is acting strange in iOS26

iOS 17+18 are affected too. Under iOS 15+16 it works fine.

Edit: I see you already came across it 3 years ago → https://github.com/tidev/titanium-sdk/pull/13498#issuecomment-1172495975

I am also experiencing this behavior on iOS 26+. — Setting a fixed height (of 64pts) is not ideal but seems like a worthwhile hack to mention. Also, wrapping the SearchBar in a View with a fixed height (of 56pts) and clipping disabled seems to layout nicely on iPhone and prevent the 'jumping'...
