Change the alpha value of the navigation bar

Is this possible?

I want to change the alpha value of the navigation bar in my view controller (in an animation), but if I do self.navigationController.navigat

You can also try to set a background view underneath the navigation bar and modify this view directly.

private lazy var backgroundView: UIView = UIView()

...

private func setupNavigationBarBackground() {
    guard let navigationBar = navigationController?.navigationBar else { return }
    navigationBar.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(), for: .default)
    navigationBar.isTranslucent = true
    view.addSubview(backgroundView)
    backgroundView.alpha = 0
    backgroundView.backgroundColor = .red
    backgroundView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
    backgroundView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: topLayoutGuide.topAnchor).isActive = true
    backgroundView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: topLayoutGuide.bottomAnchor).isActive = true
    backgroundView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.trailingAnchor).isActive = true
    backgroundView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leadingAnchor).isActive = true
}

private func changeNavigationBarAlpha(to alpha: CGFloat) {
    backgroundView.alpha = alpha
}
