I guess it will be more complete response and it should help in any situation:

-(void)viewDidLoad{

    //Set Navigation Bar
    UINavigationBar *navBar = [[UINavigationBar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, 64)];

    //Set title if needed
    UINavigationItem * navTitle = [[UINavigationItem alloc] init];
    navTitle.title = @"Title";

    //Here you create info button and customize it
    UIButton * tempButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeInfoLight];

    //Add selector to info button
    [tempButton addTarget:self action:@selector(infoButtonClicked) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

    UIBarButtonItem * infoButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:tempButton];

    //In this case your button will be on the right side
    navTitle.rightBarButtonItem = infoButton;

    //Add NavigationBar on main view
    navBar.items = @[navTitle];
    [self.view addSubview:navBar];
