The incorrect navigation bar is appearing on my Table View Controller screen (see Storyboard Below).
I would like what's displayed on the storyboard to be my navigation bar (i.e. with "Main Feed" title and Sign Out button on the top right). However, this is what I'm actually getting -
There are two issues here: 1) The incorrect navigation bar is displaying (this one has a login back button); 2) the first few table view cells are placed underneath the nav bar vs. under it.
This happened after I embedded the Table View controller in the Tab Bar Controller. I want a bottom tab bar in the main portion of my application hence the reason why I added the Tab Bar Controller. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Rather than using the Tab Bar Controller in storyboard, is there a way to do this programatically? Thanks!
The navigation bar that you are seeing on top of the stack is the navigation bar from the UITabBarController itself, that is why you are seeing the back button show "login". There's a few ways to work around this, programmatically:
When you initialize the UITabBarController, set it's navigationController's navigation bar property to "hidden"
Go through each view controller form the beginning of your app up to where you first see this problem and in the "init" method of the viewController you are testing, set the navigationbar to hidden. Something like, self.navigationController?.navigationBar.hidden = true;
This is how you can "debug" this issue, but it's going to take some tweaking to get it right.

I have a view controller which was attached to a navigation controller at one point in time. it is still showing some ghost of the navigation bar? It is also showing the Tab Bar but there is not tab bar item shown on it?
any ideas how to fix this, or is it a delete and remake?
Its either the alpha of the rootVC or you have. tab bar controller on the second one. Check your identity inspector on both views
I have a tab bar controller with a nav bar embedded in each tab as root. I am using a detail view controller that will be accessed from 2 of these tab bar stacks. When accessing this view controller in it's own stack, everything works as expected. However, if the user is in the other tab and segues to this detail view controller, the view slips behind the navigation bar. Its like the nav bar isn't even there, it just goes underneath it. I've been scratching my head trying to figure out what's going on, any insights would be greatly appreciated!
Figured it out for those in a similar predicament. Need to add navigationController?.navigationBar.translucent = false in viewDidLoad. In iOS 7 this changed, by adding this line it won't slide the view beneath the nav bar.
I want to add a bar button item on the navigation bar. (Say View 1 here.) The view that will segue to View 1 is embedded in a navigation controller.
However, the navigation bar is not showing in this view.
If I use attribute inspector to add a opaque/ translucent navigation bar, there will be a navigation bar in View 1. But if I drag in a bar button item, it cannot be shown in the storyboard. Though the bar button is in the document outline, it cannot be shown on the storyboard. Also, if I run the application, it is not on the screen.
When running the application in the simulator, View 1 will have a navigation bar on the top of it, since I use "Show" rather than "Show Details" to show View 1. I tried to embed View 1 in a navigation controller again, but it won't help much.
Can anyone tell me how to add a bar button in this situation using storyboard? And why the navigation bar is missing from the storyboard?
Thanks in advance.
I figure it out by myself.
Drag a Navigation Item from the object list, and then add bar button item to it.
Thanks to rdelmar for his idea, though drag out a navigation bar won't work in the way I thought it should work.
In my situation, View 1 is a table view. Drag a navigation bar to the view will cause it to be the header view for the table, rather than a navigation bar I had expected. Then there will be two navigation bar in the view when I run the application.
Of course we can drag out a navigation bar and add a button to it, it might work different with your expectation. As I had said, it might leads to a view which contains two navigation bars.
You can fix this by drag out the Navigation Item (contains the bar button you had added) inside the Navigation Bar out. In my situation, I drag it out and put it the same level with the table view inside the document outline. Then it won't become the header view for the table view.
After that, we can just delete the navigation bar from the document outline.
I have no idea why the navigation bar disappears in my storyboard. If anyone has some idea for this, please let me know.
It sounds like you're adding the navigation bar by using the Simulated Metrics. If so, this doesn't add one at run time, it's only for layout purposes in IB. You should drag out a navigation bar from the objects list, and add your button to it.

I have two views right now. From the second view, I want to have a back button that goes back to the initial view. I added a navigation controller and made it the initial view, and the navigation bar appeared for the first view(PlusCalendar). However, I don't know how to add a navigation bar for the second view(AddEventControllerVC) and add a back button that makes it go back to PlusCalendarView. I have looked at several tutorials and none of them surprisingly dealt with this problem. I am also looking at Apple's class reference and I am not sure if I have to initialize the navigation bar again from the second view controller. My questions are..
How come a navigation bar is not automatically added to all of my views?
For the second view, why does the navigation bar seem to be placed at the bottom?
How do I add a navigation bar on top of the second view, and add a "back" button?
The navigation bar was supposed to add the back button automatically. The problem was that the sigue between my first view and second view was set as a "modal popover." When I changed it to a "push" the back button appeared rightfully.
It seems that in model pop, the navigation bar is not record the view controller in its stack. So it cannot known the back track.In your case ,you should custom your navigation items in the second view controller. You can look this example: custom navigation bar
I am developing a tabbed bar application using storyboards.
I am attempting to put in a back button one a view - but when I press to go back (from one view to another) the tab bar vanishes.
How can I ensure the tab bar stays there?
Just make sure you're adding the UITabBar to the main Navigation Controller or View Controller of Navigation Hierarchy.
You need to select Tab Bar on the Navigation Controller Bottom Bar under the Attributes Inspector, then set the bottom bar to Inferred for the rest of your pages (or Tab Bar if you want it to be different on any pages)
