No Swipe Back when hiding Navigation Bar in UINavigationController

ios, objective-c, uigesturerecognizer, uinavigationcontroller, xcode

Solution

A hack that is working is to set the `interactivePopGestureRecognizer`'s delegate of the `UINavigationController` to `nil` like this:

[self.navigationController.interactivePopGestureRecognizer setDelegate:nil];

But in some situations it could create strange effects.

Problem

I love the swipe pack thats inherited from embedding your views in a `UINavigationController`. Unfortunately i cannot seem to find a way to hide the `NavigationBar` but still have the touch pan swipe back `gesture`. I can write custom gestures but I prefer not to and to rely on the `UINavigationController` back swipe `gesture` instead. if I uncheck it in the storyboard, the back swipe doesn't work alternatively if I programmatically hide it, the same scenario. ``` - (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; [self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:YES animated:NO]; // and animated:YES } ``` Is there no way to hide the top `NavigationBar` and still have the swipe?
