Left Alignment of Placeholder Text?

[joncursi]

The search icon and placeholder text are aligned center by default. Would be great if that could change to left-hand or right-hand alignment, depending on the use case. I.e. in Apple Maps, the search bar placeholder and icon is left-aligned:

Not sure what's the best way to add this functionality into our current setup. Placeholder alignment isn't supported natively for UISearchBar. In the example your posted, they're using a UITextField and handling the UISearchBarDelegate.

This is definitely something I'd like to have in the library though. Any suggestion you have would be appreciated.

I think in iOS 11 the placeholder is default left aligned.

A hack might be to just add spaces to the end of the placeholder text
