How do I disable the navigation bar shadow in iOS 6 for navigation bars with custom background images?

Question

It seems in iOS 6, a drop shadow is automatically added to the navigation bar even when you set a custom background image. I\'m pretty sure this wasn\'t the case with iOS 5

Answer 1

I came across this SO question when trying to get nav bars to look the same between iOS6 and iOS7.

The answer I found worked was simply to use:

    NSMutableDictionary *titleBarAttributes = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithDictionary: [[UINavigationBar appearance] titleTextAttributes]];
    [titleBarAttributes setValue:[NSNumber numberWithInt:0] forKey:UITextAttributeTextShadowOffset];
    [[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:titleBarAttributes];

ie: set the shadow offset to zero.
