How to change from UISearchDisplayController deprecated in iOS 8.0 to UISearchController - ios

Question

I used UISearchController since learning that UISearchDisplayController is deprecated. But now have a problem, integrating with SPGooglePlacesAutocomplete forked library by Chenyuan in GitHub.
I get the search bar when I start typing no results are displayed. What I am also wondering is if UISearchDisplayController is deprecated how, come Chenyuan Demo run without warning or issue of deprecated methods.
Here is my code snippet which I attempted to convert his demo to UISearchController, please tell me where I'm going wrong.
MainViewController.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <MapKit/MapKit.h>
#define IS_OS_8_OR_LATER ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 8.0)
#class SPGooglePlacesAutocompleteQuery;
#interface MainViewController : UIViewController <MKMapViewDelegate, CLLocationManagerDelegate,
UISearchBarDelegate,
UISearchControllerDelegate,
UITableViewDataSource,
UITableViewDelegate>{
NSArray *searchResultPlaces;
SPGooglePlacesAutocompleteQuery *searchQuery;
MKPointAnnotation *selectedPlaceAnnotation;
BOOL shouldBeginEditing;
#private
CGRect _searchTableViewRect;
}
// Search
#property (strong, nonatomic) UISearchDisplayController *searchController;
#property (strong, nonatomic) MKLocalSearch *localSearch;
#property (strong, nonatomic) MKLocalSearchResponse *results;
#end
MainViewController.m snippet
// setup Search Controller
-(void) setupSearchController {
// The TableViewController used to display the results of a search
UITableViewController *searchResultsController = [[UITableViewController alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStylePlain];
searchResultsController.automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = NO; // Remove table view insets
searchResultsController.tableView.dataSource = self;
searchResultsController.tableView.delegate = self;
// Initialize our UISearchController
self.searchController = [[UISearchController alloc] initWithSearchResultsController:searchResultsController];
self.searchController.delegate = self;
self.searchController.searchBar.delegate = self;
// Hint for the search
self.searchController.searchBar.placeholder = #"Search your destination address";
}
// Setup Search Bar
-(void) setupSearchBar {
// Set search bar dimension and position
CGRect searchBarFrame = self.searchController.searchBar.frame;
CGRect viewFrame = self.view.frame;
self.searchController.searchBar.frame = CGRectMake(searchBarFrame.origin.x,
searchBarFrame.origin.y,
viewFrame.size.width,
44.0);
// Add SearchController's search bar to our view and bring it to front
[self.view addSubview:self.searchController.searchBar];
[self.view bringSubviewToFront:self.searchController.searchBar];
}

// Use of instance variable to do it only once, otherwise it goes down at every search request

You need to implement the UISearchResultsUpdating protocol.
#interface MainViewController : UIViewController <..., UISearchResultsUpdating>
.
.
.
- (void)updateSearchResultsForSearchController:(UISearchController *)searchController {
// Filter results and reload table data
}
-(void) setupSearchController {
.
.
.
_searchController.searchResultsUpdater = self;
}
(as an aside, putting Google place results onto an Apple map is a violation of Google's terms of use, I believe).
