UINavigationController Interactive Pop Gesture Not

Question

So I have a navigation controller in my built for iOS 7 app. The titleView is visible, as well as the back button and navigation bar its self. For some reason, the interactive pop gesture (swipe from the left edge) isn't working. Nothing happens. When I log the gesture, it is not nil. Is there anything special I have to do to enable this functionality? What could cause it not to work?

Answer 1

Maybe someone may find this helpful.

If you want to hide the navigation bar but use normal swipe gestures to go back and other navigation controller features, you should use: (navigationBar)

self.navigationController?.navigationBar.isHidden = true

If you want to disable navigation bar (hide navigation bar, disable swipe for back) but want to push viewcontroller you should use: (isNavigationBarHidden)

self.navigationController?.isNavigationBarHidden = true

Update 7-DEC-2018:

In case that your first controller use hidden navigation bar, but next childs use navigation bar, when you come back to base view controller you will see a black bar in transition in place of navigation bar. This will be fixed very easy if you use in first viewcontroller(father):

override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillAppear(animated)
    self.navigationController?.setNavigationBarHidden(true, animated: animated)
}

override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillDisappear(animated)
    self.navigationController?.setNavigationBarHidden(false, animated: animated)
}
