Push / Pop View Controller With Navigation Bar from View Controller Without Navigation Bar

Question

I\'m trying to push a view controller with a visible navigation bar from a view controller with a hidden navigation bar.

I tried all sorts of combinations of

Answer 1

I just set up two view controllers to test this back and forth.

@interface VC1 ()

@end

@implementation VC1

- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
}

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
self.navigationController.navigationBarHidden = YES;
}

@end

and a second

#import "ViewControllerTwo.h"

@interface ViewControllerTwo ()

@end

@implementation ViewControllerTwo

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
}

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
    self.navigationController.navigationBarHidden = NO;
}

@end

VC1 is embedded in a navigationController (which is the root controller for the app), with a button that navigates to ViewControllerTwo. I have a push segue from VC1 -> ViewControllerTwo, this method works. When I tap on the button, the view controller is visible on ViewControllerTwo, when I press back, the navigationBar is gone.
