Modal Segue Into Navigation Controller with No Nav Bar - ios

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.

Navigation Bar not showing in embed Navigation Controller

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.

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

Show Navigation Bar Segue

I'm trying to show the navigation bar from the navigation controller in Swift. I'm linking to a view through a segue from a modal view. For some reason, the navigation isn't showing in the view. How do I achieve this? The sidebar view controller is presented modally from the root view controller. I've posted a screenshot of my storyboard below.
I am confused as to what your UI stack looks like. I am not seeing your UINavigationController. Can your clarify your stack more.
What is presenting your My Profile view control and then what presents your Side Bar View Controller? Where are you expecting to see a navigation bar?
When you segue to a UIViewController model it will not take the UINavigationController with it. If you want a navigation bar there you should add it to that view, but then you should think about why you present that view modal and not just push it on the stack?
When you push the viewcontroller on the stack it will take the navigation bar. When you want this behaviour you should choose the "Show" segue.

Navigation bar button unresponsive in child view controller of UITabBarController

I instantiate my UITabBarController by calling navigationController.viewControllers = #[[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"tabController"]];
My Tab bar controller has a child view that is embedded in a navigation controller. However the bar button (item) is unresponsive when I touch them (the buttons in the navigation bar). I have tried logging the action but it appears as if the button is not firing at all.
The only thing that I have done differently is the way i instantiated the tab bar controller. Am I missing something?
I connected the navigation bar button from the storyboard to an action so it is hooked up successfully. Please note there is also a navigation Controller pointing to the UITabbarController not shown below.
The unwanted behaviour maybe because this flow (navigation controller to tabbar controller) is ill advised in the Apple HIG. More information can be found here: Storyboard with NavigationController and TabController. The solution I found was to hide the navigation bar on the navigation controller that links to the navigation bar (can be done in interface builder), then make it reappear in the new navigation controller that the tab bar links to. Confusing I know, I can help anyone who ever has a similar issue.
Is there any specific reason you are doing this:
navigationController.viewControllers = #[[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"tabController"]];
You can simply drag an outlet from the UITableViewController to the UINavigationController using only the Storyboard.
I think you forgot to add the navigationItem. In the storyboard, add a navigation Item to your viewController and move your bar button items to the navigation bar that appears on the top.

Change from one navigation controller to another

I have application with 2 tab bars. In second tab bar I have navigation controller. I want to change this navigation controller to another navigation controller when "Change" button is pressed. How can I do that? Please help me.
Thanks
You'd have to replace the View Controller in the TabBar using the viewControllers property of UITabBarController or setViewControllers:animated:if you want to add some animation.
But maybe you should think of having 2 views in a controller of yours and hide/show them when you click a button, maybe even pushing/popping view controllers without animation (pushViewController:yourController animated:NO) on the navigation stack of your navigation controller and just hide the back button (self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = YES)
