MF - UIToolbar at the same time as a UINavigationController with a
UITableView

"You can either just make sure to do [myView addSubview:myToolbar] after
[myView addSubview:myTableView] which will add the toolbar layer on top
of the table view, or you can ensure that its on top with something like [my-
View insertSubview:myToolbar aboveSubview:myTableView] to replace the
toolbar addSubview."

MF - Add UITextField and FixedSpace programatically to toolbar

"If you had looked at the possible choices for style: in your call to initWith-
Title:style:target:action:, you'd see that UIBarButtonSystemItemFixedSpace
is not a valid choice."

accella.net - Custom UINavigationBar with iOS 5

"BUT… what happens if you don’t upgrade to iOS 5? Anyone running iOS 5
with an old iOS 4.x app is going to be very disappointed. Most of the old
methods of getting custom appearances are completely overridden by the
new UIAppearance Protocol. Even overriding the -(void)drawRect: method
I put above is ignored in favor of the new stuff."

reddit - Old Style Navigation Push Animation for iOS7

"This class implements the UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning protocol
and it lets you use the old style push and pop animation (before iOS7) in
which the two views scrolls together. Useful for UINavigationController with
a transparent background in which the views overlaps with the iOS7 anima-
tion style."

Adapting UI to iOS 7: The Side Menu

Using an objective-C library we created named TWTSideMenuViewController (subsequently open sourced on Github), we solved the side menu animation problem by moving and scaling the main view down and away from the status bar. We also improved the scaled down view by thinking of the menu and the main view as a single view with both of them in the same visual plane. In other words, we changed the viewport to focus on different aspects of the application as if zooming in or out like the new iOS 7 app switcher.

Prevent Back Button Navigating to Previous Controller

"Sometimes you want to stop your user immediately going back to the previous
screen without prompting them first."

Get system navigation bar button back click event

"When we use the system navigation bar, sometimes when we need to return
directly from C --> A after our A page --> B page --> C page, we need to get
the click event."

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

"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"

so - iPhone viewWillAppear not firing

"Thanks iOS 13.

ViewWillDisappear, ViewDidDisappear, ViewWillAppear and ViewDidAppear
won't get called on a presenting view controller on iOS 13 which uses a new
modal presentation that doesn't cover the whole screen."

so - When using a UINavigationController the viewWillAppear or viewDidAppear methods of my controller are not called

"NOTE: this was written in 2013. Changes to the way iOS handles view
hierarchies nowadays may render this solution useless and/or dangerous.
So use at your own risk."

r - How to place a view in the UINavigationBar and increase its height

"You can see an expanded UINavigationBar with additional UIViews located
below the title in many native Apple applications."

[Ike]

so - Is there a way to change the height of a UINavigationBar in Storyboard without using a UINavigationController?

"You can change the nav bar height programmatically:

[navBar setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 64)];"

adc - rootViewController

"If the window has an existing view hierarchy, the old views are removed
before the new ones are installed."

This tidbit wasted my whole day.

It used to work ok if I set the root view controller after adding a navigation
or tab controller as a subview to a main window up until transition from iOS
12 to iOS 13 but then my apps stopped receiving -viewWillAppear: and
viewDidAppear: on -pushViewController:animated: or when the view popped
back.

As I was trying to resurrect an older project nothing seemed to work. All the
views were messed up, especially on bezel-less phones like iPhone X and
newer.

Googling found that people don't have these called for various reasons even
before iOS 13 but nothing helped. Then at some point I changed this code:
