Constrain the table view to the bottom of the navigation bar. The table view will automatically be offset by 44, but then in code we can just do this:

tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: -44, left: 0, bottom: 0, right: 0)

The bar is transparent and has no color, but the table view does not overlap it at all. Notice the word "Hook" gets cut off despite the navigation bar being transparent. This will only work of you constrain the table view top edge to be 0 from the navigation bar. NOT 0 from the top view.
