Answer 1

Hope it help you

Swift 2:

self.navigationController.navigationBar.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(), forBarMetrics: UIBarMetrics.Default)
self.navigationController.navigationBar.shadowImage = UIImage()
self.navigationController.navigationBar.isTranslucent = true
self.navigationController.view.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()

Swift 4.2 to Swift 5.1

self.navigationController?.navigationBar.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(), for: UIBarMetrics.default)
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.shadowImage = UIImage()
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.isTranslucent = true
self.navigationController?.view.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear

Change the status bar style via :

In your Info.plist you need to define View controller-based status bar appearance to any value.

UIApplication.shared.statusBarStyle = .lightContent

If you want to hide the status bar:

UIApplication.shared.isStatusBarHidden = true

Getting this output by light content and by transparent navigation. I have view background is gray. you can see the transparency.
