For deployment targets greater than or equal to iOS 6, you should use NSShadow instead:

NSShadow * shadow = [[NSShadow alloc] init];
shadow.shadowColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
shadow.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0, -2);

NSDictionary * navBarTitleTextAttributes =
@{ NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [UIColor redColor],
   NSShadowAttributeName          : shadow,
   NSFontAttributeName            : [UIFont systemFontOfSize:14] };

[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:navBarTitleTextAttributes];
