Ios13 Navigation Bar Large Titles Not Covering Status Bar

iOS13 Navigation bar large titles not covering status bar

The official way to customize the UINavigationBar, pre iOS 13, is this:

// text/button color
UINavigationBar.appearance().tintColor = .white
// background color
UINavigationBar.appearance().barTintColor = .purple
// required to disable blur effect & allow barTintColor to work
UINavigationBar.appearance().isTranslucent = false

iOS 13 has changed how navigation bars work, so you'll need to do things slightly differently to support both old & new:

if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
    let appearance = UINavigationBarAppearance()
    appearance.backgroundColor = .purple
    appearance.titleTextAttributes = [.foregroundColor: UIColor.white]
    appearance.largeTitleTextAttributes = [.foregroundColor: UIColor.white]

    UINavigationBar.appearance().tintColor = .white
    UINavigationBar.appearance().standardAppearance = appearance
    UINavigationBar.appearance().compactAppearance = appearance
    UINavigationBar.appearance().scrollEdgeAppearance = appearance
} else {
    UINavigationBar.appearance().tintColor = .white
    UINavigationBar.appearance().barTintColor = .purple
    UINavigationBar.appearance().isTranslucent = false
}

In iOS13 the status bar background colour is different from the navigation bar in large text mode

No hacks or funkiness required here. The key is defining the desired appearance and setting this value on BOTH the nav bar's standardAppearance AND its scrollEdgeAppearance. I have the following in the init for my base navigation controller subclass for my entire app:

if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
    let navBarAppearance = UINavigationBarAppearance()
    navBarAppearance.configureWithOpaqueBackground()
    navBarAppearance.titleTextAttributes = [.foregroundColor: UIColor.white]
    navBarAppearance.largeTitleTextAttributes = [.foregroundColor: UIColor.white]
    navBarAppearance.backgroundColor = <insert your color here>
    navigationBar.standardAppearance = navBarAppearance
    navigationBar.scrollEdgeAppearance = navBarAppearance
}

Swift UINavigationBar background image does not cover status bar when clipToBounds is true

We've solved this as followed:

We set the background image on ViewController. This is the same as we use in navigation bar.

let imageView = UIImageView(image: .assetImage(.background))
imageView.contentMode = .topLeft
collectionView.backgroundView = imageView

Style the navigation bar.

// General Styling
UINavigationBar.appearance().tintColor = .assetColor(.navigationBarTintColor)
        
// Bar Styling
let navBarAppearance = UINavigationBarAppearance()
navBarAppearance.shadowColor = .clear
navBarAppearance.backgroundColor = UIColor(patternImage: .assetImage(.background)!)
        
UINavigationBar.appearance().standardAppearance = navBarAppearance
UINavigationBar.appearance().scrollEdgeAppearance = navBarAppearance

In addition we change the translucent of the navigation bar for non-root views:

if isRootview {
    self.navigationController?.navigationBar.isTranslucent = true
} else {
    self.navigationController?.navigationBar.isTranslucent = false
}

Navigation Bar Large Title - Animation Issue

for second issue:
in SceneDelegate: var window: UIWindow?
in the function scene put this line:

window?.backgroundColor = .yourColor

like this:

func scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession, options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) {
    // Use this method to optionally configure and attach the UIWindow `window` to the provided UIWindowScene `scene`.
    // If using a storyboard, the `window` property will automatically be initialized and attached to the scene.
    // This delegate does not imply the connecting scene or session are new (see `application:configurationForConnectingSceneSession` instead).
    guard let _ = (scene as? UIWindowScene) else { return }
    window?.backgroundColor = .white
}

set the color you want and that's it :)

Can large titles be maintain when the user scrolls within a navigation controller

Ok, I've solved my issue with a simple workaround that works great. Instead of adding my UIScrollView to the UIViewController.view and constraining it to the view.topAnchor, I've added a UIView [named staticView] to my UIViewController. Constraining that staticView to the view.topAnchor and then constraining UIScrollView to my static view prevents the largeTitles from being reduced, while still allowing the user to scroll.

When a UIScrollView is constrained to the topAnchor the OS reduces the nav bars large titles to their default size as the user scrolls. Having the scroll view pinned to the static view interrupts this behaviour and the large titles remain.

How do you round bottom corners of UINavigation bar with a search bar using large titles

so I found that this works, however, now my search bar text is black on purple vs white? - And I had to set the background color of the view to my purple color and then place a white background view on top of the view. Thoughts?

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    
    self.navigationController?.navigationBar.prefersLargeTitles = true
    self.navigationController?.navigationBar.layer.cornerRadius = 30
    self.navigationController?.navigationBar.layer.maskedCorners = [.layerMinXMaxYCorner, .layerMaxXMaxYCorner]
    self.navigationController?.navigationBar.clipsToBounds = true
    
    let app = UINavigationBarAppearance()
    app.largeTitleTextAttributes = [NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: UIColor.white]
    app.titleTextAttributes = [NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: UIColor.white]
    app.backgroundColor = UIColor(red: 0.30, green: 0.07, blue: 0.63, alpha: 1.00)
    
    self.navigationController?.navigationBar.scrollEdgeAppearance = app
    
     self.navigationController?.navigationBar.isOpaque = true
    search.searchBar.delegate = self
    UISearchBar.appearance().tintColor = .white
    search.searchBar.searchTextField.textColor = .white
    search.searchBar.sizeToFit()
    search.obscuresBackgroundDuringPresentation = false
    search.hidesNavigationBarDuringPresentation = false
    self.definesPresentationContext = true
    search.searchBar.placeholder = "Search here"
    self.navigationItem.searchController = search
}

Set border and color of navigationbar when largetitles = true

I got this to work now. If anyone has the same problem it can be done with this code:

if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
    let appearance = UINavigationBarAppearance()
        appearance.backgroundColor = UIColor(displayP3Red: 248/255, green: 248/255, blue: 248/255, alpha: 1)
        appearance.titleTextAttributes = [.foregroundColor: UIColor.black]
        appearance.largeTitleTextAttributes = [.foregroundColor: UIColor.black]

        UINavigationBar.appearance().tintColor = .systemBlue
        UINavigationBar.appearance().standardAppearance = appearance
        UINavigationBar.appearance().compactAppearance = appearance
        UINavigationBar.appearance().scrollEdgeAppearance = appearance
} else {
    UINavigationBar.appearance().tintColor = .systemBlue
    UINavigationBar.appearance().barTintColor = UIColor(displayP3Red: 248/255, green: 248/255, blue: 248/255, alpha: 1)
    UINavigationBar.appearance().isTranslucent = false
}

You need to put this in

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool { }

otherwise, the first view controller does not have these changes, because the first view is already loaded.
