Hello i'm creating custom contact view using UITableView. I fetched all contacts and using table relodData but it not showing in table. On a single tap on table then data is visible. In view will appear i'm calling to fetch all contacts in phone and on completion it will reload tableView to make contact visible but it shows if i tap on it or open other view and come back.

Always update your UI on main thread, so call reloadData of TableView on main thread like this.
[self fetchAllContactsCompletionHandler:^(BOOL granted, NSError * _Nullable error) {

Please help me out.How can i solve this issues.
Thanks in advance !
UPDATE :

well i have good approach with predicate
well according to you jsonResponse
// so forEach loop should like this
for(NSDictionary *Dic in CountryArray){
NSString*str=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[dic objectForKey:#"name"]];
}
// well i am not using for each loop instead of that i have nsmutablearray name as _searchArraySingle is same like your countryArray with predicate
// if you are using textfield in place of default Searchbar so use this then use NSPredicate

Please Refer the below link, i can able to implement the search bar in table view by using this.
http://www.appcoda.com/search-bar-tutorial-ios7/
I used json parsing and managed to fetch information from a website and show it in the Table View. I managed to set up the search bar such that it searches for the text. However when i key in my second letter there is nothing in the table view even though there is words starting with the two letters. I have added my code below.

If I read this correctly, you only store one letter in the eventNamesArray: NSString *eventsAsStrings = [event.eventName substringToIndex:1];.
So the predicate self.filteredEventsArray = [eventNamesArray filteredArrayUsingPredicate:pred]; will only match, if you type one letter.
So one simple solution would be to store the complete event names in their own array, so that you can match against those.
I have created a app that fetches information from a blog. I am able to successfully fetch the information and show it in the tableview. Then i created a search bar and a search display controller so that i could search through the information. When i run it, there is no error and it fetches and shows the information. But when i enter a letter into the searchbar there is no cells in the tableview even though there is words starting from that letter.

When I run the following code, nothing appears on my UITableView. I created a global NSMutableArray for storing the results of a query on Parse, but I can't manage to use that array to load the cells on the UITableView.
Thanks!

Copy and paste the following loadEvents method
- (void) loadEvents
{
eventNames = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
PFQuery *event_query = [PFQuery queryWithClassName:#"Event"];
[event_query findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock:^(NSArray *objects, NSError *error) {
if (!error) {
NSLog(#"Successfully retrieved %lu scores.", (unsigned long)objects.count);
for (PFObject *object in objects) {
[eventNames addObject:[object objectForKey:#"event_name"]];
NSLog(#"%#", [object objectForKey:#"event_name"]);
NSLog(#"%lu", (unsigned long)eventNames.count);
}
[eventTableView reloadData];
} else {
NSLog(#"Error: %# %#", error, [error userInfo]);
}
}];
}
Every time you asynchronously fetch data for table view, you have to reload the whole table or the changed sections.
I'm guessing that the result from findObjectsInBackground returned after the tableview has already displayed. Did the NSLog print out the results that you expected?
One thing to try is to add a
[eventTableView reloadData];
after the for loop , which will tell the tableview to reload the data again.
