XCode 26 beta 4 search bar issue

I have a standard list view controller that has a UISearchController set up in the list's navigationItem. When built on Xcode 26 beta 4 the search bar does not appear. It's not present in the view hierarchy. On previous versions it appears, especially on Xcode 16.4.

Is this a known issue? Haven't managed to find it anywhere. Also what could be the potential workaround?

Try this:

if #available(iOS 26.0, *) {       
self.navigationItem.searchBarPlacementAllowsToolbarIntegration = false
  }

it helped me.
