Try adding some Auto Layout constraints after you add the nav bar to the view

if #available(iOS 11.0, *) {
    newNavbar.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leadingAnchor).isActive = true
    newNavbar.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.trailingAnchor).isActive = true
    newNavbar.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.topAnchor).isActive = true
    newNavbar.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 64).isActive = true
}

You can actually use all but the third constraint in earlier versions of iOS but if it all works in earlier versions you may not want to mess with it.

Using the safe layout area should keep your nav bar under the status bar.
