Summary:
In my code, I'm calling the beginRefreshing method of a UITableViewController's refreshControl in viewWillAppear.

On iOS 9, the refresh control shows as expected. On iOS 10, the refresh control is not visible.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run the attached sample project on iOS 10
2. Tap on the "Tap Me!" button


Expected Results:
A table view controller is pushed onto the navigation stack. It should show a refresh control for 2 seconds.

Actual Results:
The refresh control is not visible.

Version:
iOS 10.0 [14A5309d]

Notes:
If you run the same code on iOS 9.3.3, it works as expected.

Configuration:
iPhone 6s (also happens on iPad Pro and Simulator)

Still broken in the iOS10 GM

Unfortunately there has been no change in the GM, and I'm yet to find any workarounds!

For some reason, not just UIRefresControls, but also some UIActivityIndicatorViews are affected in my codebase.

Still Broken on beta 8

This has been bugging me since the begging and it's still not corrected. Hopefully this is fixed in the GM.
