Classification:Serious Bug Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
SFSafariViewController is empty if presentation is delayed after creation by some time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch sample app.
2. Tap Open Web to see empty SFSafariViewController. Console log shows there are not subviews in SFSafariViewController.view.
3. Uncomment prepareWeb() below FIXME in ViewController.swift. Repeat 1~2 to see the correct behavior.

Expected Results:
SFSafariViewController should work normally if it is created first and then presented later. Some code logic ends up like this.
