Storyboard - Hiding top bar of navigation controller programmatically
Finally solved it. You should always hide navigation bar only through viewController.
In my question above I instantiated a whole new navigationController which didn't point at the real navController on the screen. You can obtain the "real" one through the view controller like this:
[viewController.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:YES animated:YES];
There are 2 ways to hide top bar of Navigation Controller:
1) Programatically
[self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:YES animated:YES];2) Using Interface Builder
You can uncheck "Shows Navigation Bar" in property list of Navigation Controller.
Please make sure you have selected scene which contain Navigation Controller. Example image of scene.
in swift 4:
self.navigationController!.navigationBar.isHidden = truesomething like this:
override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() self.navigationController!.navigationBar.isHidden = true }
