Prefer Large Titles and RefreshControl not working well

If you were using tableView.tableHeaderView = refreshControl or tableView.addSubView(refreshControl) you should try using tableView.refreshControl = refreshControl

It seems there are a lot of different causes that could make this happen, for me I had a TableView embedded within a ViewController. I set the top layout guide of the tableview to the superview with 0. After all of that still nothing until I wrapped my RefreshControl end editing in a delayed block:

DispatchQueue.main.async {
   if self.refreshControl.isRefreshing {
       DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 1.0, execute: {
            self.refreshControl.endRefreshing()
       })
   }
}

At the end what worked for me was:

• In order to fix the RefreshControl progress bar disappearing bug with large titles:

  self.extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = true
  

• In order to fix the list offset after refreshcontrol.endRefreshing():

  let top = self.tableView.adjustedContentInset.top
  let y = self.refreshControl!.frame.maxY + top
  self.tableView.setContentOffset(CGPoint(x: 0, y: -y), animated:true)
  

I'm having the same problem, and none of the other answers worked for me.

I realised that changing the table view top constraint from the safe area to the superview fixed that strange spinning bug.

Also, make sure the constant value for this constraint is 0 🤯.
