How to Show/Hide a Uibarbuttonitem

How do I show/hide a UIBarButtonItem?

Save your button in a strong outlet (let's call it myButton) and do this to add/remove it:

// Get the reference to the current toolbar buttons
NSMutableArray *toolbarButtons = [self.toolbarItems mutableCopy];

// This is how you remove the button from the toolbar and animate it
[toolbarButtons removeObject:self.myButton];
[self setToolbarItems:toolbarButtons animated:YES];

// This is how you add the button to the toolbar and animate it
if (![toolbarButtons containsObject:self.myButton]) {
    // The following line adds the object to the end of the array.  
    // If you want to add the button somewhere else, use the `insertObject:atIndex:` 
    // method instead of the `addObject` method.
    [toolbarButtons addObject:self.myButton];
    [self setToolbarItems:toolbarButtons animated:YES];
}

Because it is stored in the outlet, you will keep a reference to it even when it isn't on the toolbar.

How can I hide a UIBarButtonItem?

UINavigationItem doesnt have a rightBarButton property. Try rightBarButtonItem instead (or [self.navigationItem setRightBarButtonItem:nil animated:NO];):

self.navigationController.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = nil;
// Or
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = nil;
// Or
[self.navigationItem setRightBarButtonItem:nil animated:NO];

Show/Hide barButtonItem

Just got the answer! All you have to do is create a strong IBOutlet, then you can do the following:

// viewDidLoad
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = nil

// Later on...
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.deleteBarButton

How to hide a bar button item for certain users

You can store a copy of the leftBarButtonItem in a strong property and update it after the users log in.

var leftBarButtonItem : UIBarButtonItem!

Inside viewDidLoad:

self.leftBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(title: "test", style:         UIBarButtonItem.Style.Plain, target: nil, action: nil)

In logic:

if loggedIn
{
    self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = self.leftBarButtonItem
}
else
{
    self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = nil
}

UIBarButtonItem hide element and space that it takes

The best solution that i found was searchButton.customView = UIView()

Make a UIBarButtonItem disappear using swift IOS

Do you really want to hide/show creeLigueBouton? It is instead much easier to enable/disable your UIBarButtonItems. You would do this with a few lines:

if(condition == true) {
    creeLigueBouton.enabled = false
} else {
    creeLigueBouton.enabled = true
}

This code can even be rewritten in a shorter way:

creeLigueBouton.enabled = !creeLigueBouton.enabled

Let's see it in a UIViewController subclass:

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var creeLigueBouton: UIBarButtonItem!

    @IBAction func hide(sender: AnyObject) {
        creeLigueBouton.enabled = !creeLigueBouton.enabled
    }

}

If you really want to show/hide creeLigueBouton, you can use the following code:

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    var condition: Bool = true
    var creeLigueBouton: UIBarButtonItem! //Don't create an IBOutlet

    @IBAction func hide(sender: AnyObject) {
        if(condition == true) {
            navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems = []
            condition = false
        } else {
            navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems = [creeLigueBouton]
            condition = true
        }
    }

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        creeLigueBouton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Creer", style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.Plain, target: self, action: "creerButtonMethod")
        navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems = [creeLigueBouton]
    }

    func creerButtonMethod() {
        print("Bonjour")
    }

}
