No Swipe Back when hiding Navigation Bar in UINavigationController

Question

I love the swipe pack thats inherited from embedding your views in a UINavigationController. Unfortunately i cannot seem to find a way to hide the Naviga

Answer 1

The answer of Hunter Monk is really awesome, but unfortunately in iOS 13.3.1, it does not work.

I will explain another way to hide UINavigationBar and not lose swipe to back gesture. I have tested on iOS 13.3.1 and 12.4.3 and it works.

You need to create a custom class of UINavigationController and set that class for UINavigationController in Storyboard

Do NOT hide the NavigationBar on the Storyboard

Example on Storyboard:

And finally, put this: navigationBar.isHidden = true in viewDidLoad of CustomNavigationController class.

Make sure, do NOT use this method setNavigationBarHidden(true, animated: true) for hiding the NavigationBar.

import UIKit

class CustomNavigationController: UINavigationController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        navigationBar.isHidden = true
    }
}
