Navigation Bar not showing in embed Navigation Controller - ios

I'm trying to display the navigation bar at the top of the screen, but it's not showing in embed navigation controller.
Here is how it is in the storyboard:
And here it's in the simulator:
As you can see, I created a custom TabBar (following this tutorial) at the bottom of the screen so I can navigate between the different views.
I believe that I'm going to have to load the navbar programatically because the only solution that I found was to set the navigation controller as the initial view controller, but I already set another view as the initial one so I can't do that.

Issue :
When you instantiate a viewController using storyBoard identifier they wont come with free embedded navigation controller, even if you have added a NavigationController to them. As a result you are adding a viewController without navigation bar to your tab bar VC.
Solutions:
Solution1: If you want each child viewControllers to carry their own navigation controller hence their own navigation stack, provide a storyboard identifier to Navigation Controller behind your child viewControllers and instantiate the Navigation controller itself rather than ViewController. And add NavigationController as you tab bar looking VC's child. Because navigation controller loads the embdedded VC by default you will see your child VC with nav bar.
Solution2: All that you care for is only nav bar than add the Navigation Controller behind the VC containing tab bar looking View.
Hope it helps

Have you tried constraining the navigation bar to your view? Otherwise it can move offscreen.

You need to point the tab bar controller segue to the navigation controller of your view - otherwise if you point the segue straight to the view you're just loading the view without any navigation controller attached.

Navigation Bar and navigation items not visible on runtime

I don't understand why SignIn and SignUp navigation Bar and the back buttons are not visible even when embedding both of these views in the navigation controllers.
Is there anything else we have to do in code. All top bars are inferred in this case and I haven't touched the visibility of any.
There is no back button because there is nowhere to go back to. Your sign up and sign in view controllers are the root view controllers of their respective navigation controllers.
There is no visible title because what you are looking at is the navigation item of the tab bar controller, which has no title.
Your architecture posits a navigation controller insider a navigation controller, which is illegal:
nav controller -> tab bar controller -> nav controller
You can't do that.
Also you can't put a tab bar controller inside a navigation controller. A navigation interface inside a tabbed interface is fine (as illustrate in Apple's own docs: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uinavigationcontroller). The reverse, a tabbed interface inside a navigation interface, is not.
The simplest solution is to eliminate the first navigation controller completely, as there is no need for it (you are not pushing anything onto it beyond its root view controller).
IN SIMPLE TERMS
Logically, your Tabbar should not be embedded in a UINavigation Controller. Instead, delete the NavigationController and make the Tabbar the root Viewcontroller then embed each UIViewcontroller in a separate Navigation controller

Why does embedding a View Controller in a Navigation Controller, then in a Tab Bar Controller attach the nav bar to the Tab Bar Controller?

Back when I first created the foundational layout for the app I'm currently working on in Storyboard, I did it in two steps:
Selected my View Controller and used Editor->Embed In->Navigation Controller.
Selected my View Controller again and used Editor->Embed In->Tab Bar Controller.
This was the resulting layout:
Question 1: Why do these steps create such an odd layout?
In this weird layout that seems to imply that the Navigation Controller is attached to the Tab Bar Controller as its parent, the only way I can get navigation items to display in the app (in the view controlled by the View Controller on the right) is by placing them in the nav bar of the Tab Bar Controller scene.
However, this creates various issues, including not being able to create an IBOutlet in my View Controller file for a custom view I drag into the title view slot in the Tab Bar Controller scene. Meanwhile, dragging anything into the navigation bar in the View Controller scene just makes it not appear in the app when it runs.
Question 2: How can I fix this layout so that I can control-drag from navigation items into my View Controller file? Or is everything actually correct, and I'm just trying to force something I shouldn't? (My intention here is to be able to set the custom title view's text in my View Controller code.)
Its obvious, if you want to embed MyViewController to NavigationController then you need to change your second step and need to embed NavigationController to Tab Bar Controller.
Selected MyViewController and used Editor->Embed In->Navigation Controller.
Selected NavigationController Embed with MyViewController and used Editor->Embed In->Tab Bar Controller.
It should look like this.
Note: You need to embed MyViewController to navigationController only if you want to perform push operation on this TabBarItem means with MyViewController other wise simply embed MyViewController to TabBarController no need to embed it with NavigationController.

SWRevealViewController switching between ViewControllers

I have a problem with SWRevealViewController. In my app I have a long chain of UIViewControllers connected to a single UINavigationController. After adding a side menu and setting the "reveal view controller push controller" segue for cells I see only ViewControllers connected with a segue. I can't move between my UIViewControllers in the chain any more. And navigation bar is missing. Is it possible to use a side bar and UINavigationBar at the same time?
I see your image I think you have to add another navigation controller before the C****** S****** View Controller or the view controller you want to go
the reason is that there is no UINavigationController before the C****** S****** View Controller and that's why Navigation bar is hidden and you can't move

Navigation bar from tab bar controller hides child's nav bar

I am confused with behavior, I have Tab Bar Controller ( I enter on this controller from simple view controller which is embedded in navigation controller). I am confused why is that navigation bar from tab is covered up child navigation bar.
When I start app and I enter at Browse Controller I cannot see Browse title, neither nav bar items which I added programmatically. Can somebody give me clue what is wrong ( I am new to this, I connect with push segue from tab to browse).
Your problem appears to be the same as the one I addressed here:
Push segue from a view controller controlled by UITabBarController
What's happening is that your first NavigationController is creating a Navigation stack. Then you push-segue a TabViewController. That is added to the Nav stack, along with each of it's contained view controllers. However, when you PUSH SEGUE from one of those view controllers to some other view controller, the original navigation controller's stack is the one you are pushing on to. This is not contained inside the tab view controller, so the pushed view controller has no relationship with that tab view controller, just the original navigation controller stack. Therefore the tabs are not present.
The answer is to embed each of the tab controller's view controllers in a new navigation controller, and push on from those. The original navigation controller is just messing things up here...

Modal Segue Into Navigation Controller with No Nav Bar

In my storyboard I have a view with a segue into a new view that's embedded into a Navigation Controller (so the segue points to the navigation controller). I have the segue set to a Modal transition, however when the new view is animating up, it contains the standard blue navigation bar above the view (which then animates out of view).
Here's what it looks like mid segue: http://i.imgur.com/3eqAQ.png
How do I make it so the modal view animates up but without the navigation bar?
I have tried hiding the navigation bar in the embedded view's init, viewWillAppear, and vieWillLoad methods and that doesn't work.
I event went so far as to create a custom subclass of UINavigationController and set the navigation controller in the storyboard to it.
Thanks!
This may sound pretty simple, but have you tried hiding the navigation bar immediately before the modal segue starts? I had this problem when presenting a modal view controller and adding a [self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:YES] immediately before the presentation did the trick for me.
I had almost the same problem, but I wanted to get a navigation bar for my modal transition, as it was always hidden.
There may be two ways for you to remove the navigation bar:
Make sure that your view controller is not embed in a navigation controller, as it would put one by default
Check the "Top Bar" attribute of your previous controller in the workflow and work with none/inferred values depending on your storyboard.
