Problem with NavBar in iOS 13 doesn't show [duplicate] - ios

Question

On ios13, with iphone x, the large title navigation does not cover the status bar however when scrolling and transitioning into the traditional nav bar, it works perfectly. This doesn't affect devices without the notch.
Large titles
Traditional navigation bar
It's all embedded within a navigation controller so i'm lost as to why this is happening. Cheers

Answer 1

The official way to customize the UINavigationBar, pre iOS 13, is this:
// text/button color
UINavigationBar.appearance().tintColor = .white
// background color
UINavigationBar.appearance().barTintColor = .purple
// required to disable blur effect & allow barTintColor to work
UINavigationBar.appearance().isTranslucent = false
iOS 13 has changed how navigation bars work, so you'll need to do things slightly differently to support both old & new:
if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
let appearance = UINavigationBarAppearance()
appearance.backgroundColor = .purple
appearance.titleTextAttributes = [.foregroundColor: UIColor.white]
appearance.largeTitleTextAttributes = [.foregroundColor: UIColor.white]
UINavigationBar.appearance().tintColor = .white
UINavigationBar.appearance().standardAppearance = appearance
UINavigationBar.appearance().compactAppearance = appearance
UINavigationBar.appearance().scrollEdgeAppearance = appearance
} else {
UINavigationBar.appearance().tintColor = .white
UINavigationBar.appearance().barTintColor = .purple
UINavigationBar.appearance().isTranslucent = false
}

Use my extension iOS 13 Swift 5 tested
extension UIViewController {
func configureNavigationBar(largeTitleColor: UIColor, backgoundColor: UIColor, tintColor: UIColor, title: String, preferredLargeTitle: Bool) {
if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
let navBarAppearance = UINavigationBarAppearance()
navBarAppearance.configureWithOpaqueBackground()
navBarAppearance.largeTitleTextAttributes = [.foregroundColor: largeTitleColor]
navBarAppearance.titleTextAttributes = [.foregroundColor: largeTitleColor]
navBarAppearance.backgroundColor = backgoundColor
navigationController?.navigationBar.standardAppearance = navBarAppearance
navigationController?.navigationBar.compactAppearance = navBarAppearance
navigationController?.navigationBar.scrollEdgeAppearance = navBarAppearance
navigationController?.navigationBar.prefersLargeTitles = preferredLargeTitle
navigationController?.navigationBar.isTranslucent = false
navigationController?.navigationBar.tintColor = tintColor
navigationItem.title = title
} else {
// Fallback on earlier versions
navigationController?.navigationBar.barTintColor = backgoundColor
navigationController?.navigationBar.tintColor = tintColor
navigationController?.navigationBar.isTranslucent = false
navigationItem.title = title
}
}}
How to use:
configureNavigationBar(largeTitleColor: .yourColor, backgoundColor: .yourColor, tintColor: .yourColor, title: "yuorTitle", preferredLargeTitle: true)
Set ViewController-based status bar...... to NO in info.plist if you want light Content
If you don't want largeTitles set it to false
for tranlsucent change navBarAppearance.configureWithOpaqueBackground() in:
navBarAppearance.configureWithDefaultBackground()
navigationController?.navigationBar.isTranslucent = true
in the call set background color to .clear
UPDATE:
If you want to start with navigation controller and large Titles at first controller, don't forget to set launch controller in Scene Delegate like this:
guard let windowScene = (scene as? UIWindowScene) else { return }
window = UIWindow(windowScene: windowScene)
window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
let vC = UINavigationController(rootViewController: YourFirstViewController())
window?.rootViewController = vC
hope this help :)

For full application navigation bar support please add this extension inside your code.
import UIKit
extension UIViewController {
open func showNavigationBar(_ large: Bool,
_ animated: Bool,
titleColor: UIColor,
barTintColor: UIColor,
fontSize: CGFloat) {
navigationController?.navigationBar.barTintColor = barTintColor
navigationController?.navigationBar.backgroundColor = barTintColor
navigationController?.navigationBar.isTranslucent = true
self.navigationController?.setNavigationBarHidden(false, animated: animated)
if large {
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.prefersLargeTitles = true
if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
let appearance = UINavigationBarAppearance()
appearance.backgroundColor = barTintColor
appearance.titleTextAttributes = [.foregroundColor: titleColor]
appearance.largeTitleTextAttributes = [NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: titleColor,
NSAttributedString.Key.font: UIFont(resource: R.font.robotoMedium, size: fontSize)!]
navigationController?.navigationBar.standardAppearance = appearance
navigationController?.navigationBar.compactAppearance = appearance
navigationController?.navigationBar.scrollEdgeAppearance = appearance
} else {
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.largeTitleTextAttributes = [NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: titleColor,
NSAttributedString.Key.font: UIFont(resource: R.font.robotoMedium, size: fontSize)!]
}
} else {
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.prefersLargeTitles = false
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = [NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: titleColor,
NSAttributedString.Key.font: UIFont(resource: R.font.robotoMedium, size: 20.0)!]
}
}
}
And Then call this method simply
self.showNavigationBar(true, true, titleColor: UIColor.blue, barTintColor: UIColor.red, fontSize: 32.0)
