Not able to scroll and select cells displayed in uisearch controller - ios

Question

I have a screen which shows favourite locations and if a user wants to add new location he can search using uisearchcontroller and add it to favourite location's list.
The problem is that once i make the api call for autocomplete the list of searched locations is visible but i cannot select or scroll the table.
I know that the problem is where i set the uisearchcontroller. but i do not know the right way to do it.
I am newbie in iOS so ur suggestions will be welcome.
the following is the GithubRepository for the project(incase ul want to try out the app and make suggestions)
and heres the related code where i beleive the problem exists.
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
favList = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
searchList = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
self.table.dataSource = self;
self.table.delegate = self;
[self initSearch];
}
#pragma mark UI Search methods
-(void) initSearch
{
FavouriteViewController *searchResultsController = [[FavouriteViewController alloc] init];
searchResultsController.table.dataSource = self;
searchResultsController.table.delegate = self;
searchResultsController.table.allowsSelectionDuringEditing = YES;
searchResultsController.table.allowsSelection = YES;
self.search = [[UISearchController alloc] initWithSearchResultsController:searchResultsController];
self.definesPresentationContext = NO;
self.table.tableHeaderView = self.search.searchBar;
self.search.searchResultsUpdater = self;
self.search.searchBar.delegate = self;
self.search.dimsBackgroundDuringPresentation = NO;
}
didSelectRowAtIndex method
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if (self.search.active) {
NSManagedObjectContext *context = [self managedObjectContext];
NSManagedObjectModel *place = [NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:#"Place" inManagedObjectContext:context];
NSString *places =[searchList[indexPath.row] valueForKey:#"name"];
if (![favList containsObject:places])
{
NSString *lati = [searchList[indexPath.row] valueForKey:#"lat"];
NSString *longi = [searchList[indexPath.row] valueForKey:#"lon"];
if (places != NULL && lati != NULL && longi != NULL)
{
[place setValue:places forKey:#"placeName"];
[place setValue:lati forKey:#"latitude"];
[place setValue:longi forKey:#"longitude"];
}
NSError *error = nil;
// Save the object to persistent store
if (![context save:&error]) {
NSLog(#"Can't Save! %# %#", error, [error localizedDescription]);
}
}
[self.search setActive:NO];
filtered = NO;
[self getalldata];
[self.table reloadData];
}
else
{
NSManagedObject *device = [favList objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
NSUserDefaults *defaults = [[NSUserDefaults alloc] initWithSuiteName:#"group.SJI.Weather-App"];
[defaults setObject:[device valueForKey:#"placeName"] forKey:#"favSet"];
[[self navigationController] popToRootViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
}
