StatusBar tint and hidebaronswipe - ios

I just want to change the color of my statusBar to follow the color of my navigationController.
I've read some posts, and now I'm understand that I'm not able to change the statusBar color, basically, I need have a view behind and change the color of that view. Ok.
So my problem is:
I have a UITableView inside a ViewController and this ViewController is embed in a NavigationController.
In the NavigationController I set the flag Hide Bars:On Swipe
When I swipe the TableView my navigationBar disappear, but it also override my view that I set to a height of 20 to simulate the StatusBar.
I found this Post, and it is the exactly my problem, I've read on this post a logical solution, but OP don't answered if it worked or not, anyway, I think that I need to work correctly with the constraints, but this solution doesnt work for me on xcode7 swift 2.0.
Any ideas?

I fount the perfectly solution on this post:
The solution marked as accepted is outdated.

In iOS, is there a way to add (overlay) a subview of a UIBarButtonItem image without it moving the buttons already in the bar?

I have my swift 5 app working and I'm now adding a 'tool tips' feature, explaining what each part of the screen does.
The approach I have taken is from an article online - add a subview of grey to dim the background, then to that, add a subview of the item being described again, so it is now highlighted, then also, add a subview of an explainer bubble to explain the item highlighted.
This works fine, so long as the UIView I'm using isn't from a UIBarButtonItem. When it is, the bar buttons underneath the grey screen move around to accomodate what they believe is another bar button being added, which causes everything to miss-align. Other buttons do not have this problem, only UIBarButtons.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Are you adding the duplicate subview to the bar itself? It'd probably be better to add it to the screen rather than the bar so it doesn't affect the bar's layout. In order to get its frame relative to the view controller so you can display your duplicate in the correct position, you could use:
barButtonItem.convert(barButtonItem.bounds, to: self.view)
Assuming self is a UIViewController.

Scrolling effect in ViewController

How can I achieve when the user scrolls in the ViewController down to make the highlighted text show up in NavigationBar and when the user scrolls back up to make it disappear again? Similar to Apple's one in Settings app in Apple advertising (https://imgur.com/0FeFJ3s)
Edit:
Looking at the image you posted, this seems to be the default transition a large style navigation bar gives you. The only tweak that's been done is centering the title text.
Original answer:
The text in the navigation bar follows the .title property of your view controller. However, setting the title is not animated. Depending on your use case, that may or may not be enough.
If you want to do things a bit more fancy, you have some control over the .navigationItem.titleView in a view controller. This way you can use a custom view in the navigation bar. Using this, and a bit of fancy programming, you can animate things there.
Last, you can read the scroll position of a UITableView or a UIScrollView by implementing the scroll view's delegate's scrollViewDidScroll method. How you know where the labels that are interesting are depends on the content of your scrollView, so I can't answer that for you.

Fully customising a UINavigationBar for iOS 11

I'm working on a project where the designer came up with the following great idea:
A navigation bar with a height of 175 and a slanted edge. Now I didn't think this would be a problem, but it doesn't seem like I can actually edit the frame and/or mask of a UINavigationBar anymore... Normal stuff like editing the frame, or the bounds doesn't seem to work.
Does anyone have any experience with this? I believe it's an iOS 11/Xcode 9 specific problem.
Thanks.
I am afraid that you couldn't implement the design with the UINavigationBar. You may have to hide the system navigation bar and add a custom view on the top of view controller.
BTW, this design is quite Android-style...
You can't customize native navigationbar like this!.
So, you have to do it with custom view.
If you want this kind of navigationbar in every viewcontroller then,
subclass UIView and set it's all the properties and frame in that class.
Then in your viewcontroller just instantiate that class and add that view(instance) in your main view at top!

viewController.titleView full width blinking on transition

I have a custom view (not UIButton) for navigationItem.titleView and I did a little trick to make it be fullwidth by overriding setFrame method so that it doesn't get resized automatically by the navigation controller to be shrinked ( to achieve what i want - fullwidth) I set the titleView at the viewDidLoad event.. the problem is that while the transition the navigation bar do some kind of repositioning and I see my view blinking at the transition and getting a little bit down and then blinking back to its position.. It's really irritating problem , any idea where this is coming from ?
Updated -Not solved yet-
my custom view is not a UIButton to be solved like this (thanks to #Sneak)
ios - navigationItem.titleView blinks when updated
Have you tried setting the autoResizingMask of your custom tileView to UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleTopMargin?
In my case self.view.layoutSubviews() caused the issue. According to the official documentation, I used setNeedsLayout() instead, so the blinking has gone! (The constraint animation too, but this is another story.) Note: layoutIfNeeded() causes blinking for custom navigation as well.

UISplitView with UITabbar

I have a strange one that I can not seem to fix. I am currently working on updating my app to iOS7. This all worked in iOS6. It is an universal app and thus uses same xib files. However the iPad uses UISplitViews on some. Like I said, this all worked in iOS6 oh this all works on the iPhone too.
The problem is a grey bar at the bottom. I changed the tab bar to be opaque to move views up properly as i had some UI clipped to bottom of views and that went underneath the tab bar, sidetracked there. But if i set it back to translucent bar, it goes underneath but stretched properly. if i dont, it adds a bar. Other tabs work fine when NOT using splitview.
The UISplitviewController is added programmatically.
See attached image for better description.
This I have tried:
Added autoresize on splitview
Checked xib for subviews in the splitviews to have auto resize
Tried to force splitview to be screen bounds
Removed clips to bounds on all views
Removed autoresize subviews
Any ideas would be welcomed.
Thank you all.
UPDATE:
setting the background colour the uisplitview, it does colour the bar black. So the uisplitview is definitely stretching to it.
I subclassed UISplitViewController and added the line below to viewDidLoad and that fixed the grey line.
self.extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = YES;
I believe I have found an alternative solution for you. I have had the exact same problem, mostly because we are both doing something against Apple's Guidelines which is having a SplitViewController nested within a Tabbar controller (SplitView should be the root view). This was okay in iOS 5/6, but now in iOS 7 there are far too many side effects to achieve this.
The reason you see your view stretch completely when you set the bar to be translucent is because the bar is NOT taken into account when drawing the view. When you set translucent to false, it is then taken into account of the view and you will see that grey bar there because that's your view pretending there's a tabbar at the bottom of the screen.
And as always, a SplitViewcontroller's height cannot be changed, as it is determined by the visible window height.
I tried everything you did and then some. The real solution came from using a third-party Split View Controller.
I recommend switching over to https://github.com/mattgemmell/MGSplitViewController . This split view controller is actually one large View with container views living inside of it. Because of this, you avoid all the side effects of putting an actual split view controller within a tab bar.
If that doesn't float your boat, you could create your own solution which follows the same idea of having one UIViewController with two container views contained in it, though the people behind MGSplitViewController did a good job of that already.
This was the only way I was able to solve this issue, let me know if you find an alternative.
Instead of creating a subclass for UISplitViewController, I just added this code on my master's viewDidLoad:
self.splitViewController?.extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = true
For the controller that is the detail view of UISplitViewController you just do this:
-(UITabBarController*)tabBarController{
return nil;
}
