Disable swipe back gesture in Swift

Question

Been looking around on here for a while but can\'t seem to find a working solution.

I\'m trying to disable the swipe to go back to previous view gesture, in Swift.

Answer 1

I generally make sure that swipe back is enabled in as many places as possible, even adding a custom gesture recognizer to add it to modal screens. However for an authentication and download process in my app I start the process with a modal navigation controller and then push the view for each next step. However, once it's completed I want to prevent them from backing up into the authentication screens.

For this scenario I've been using:

navigationController?.interactivePopGestureRecognizer?.isEnabled = false
navigationItem.hidesBackButton = true

in viewWillAppear() on the final screen. You can undo these in viewWillDisappear() if you're pushing another view and need them there.
