UINavigationBar won't show again after hiding on scroll/swipe

Question

As the title says, the navigationBar doesn't show up after hiding it on scroll. I tried setting it in xCode as well as programmatically. Either way, the problem is still there.

override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {
        super.viewDidAppear(animated)

        navigationController?.hidesBarsOnSwipe = true
    }

Here is what it looks like after hiding the navBar. Note that the status bar color also changed color from white to black.

In viewDidLoad I have :

 //MARK: navigation bar styles
        self.navigationController?.navigationBar.backgroundColor = UIColor.init(red: 26/255, green: 24/255, blue: 24/255, alpha: 1)
        self.navigationController?.navigationBar.clipsToBounds = true
        self.navigationController?.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes =  [NSFontAttributeName:UIFont(name:"GillSans", size: 20)!]

Does anyone have a good solution for this? Thank you in advance for your help!

Try this code:

Note : As you setting your navbar background close to black. You have to change your status bar content to light.

//Update your plist with below code

 View controller-based status bar appearance = NO

In your ViewController:

    title = "Some Title"

    navigationController?.navigationBar.barTintColor = UIColor(red: 26/255, green: 24/255, blue: 24/255, alpha: 1)
    navigationController?.navigationBar.tintColor = UIColor.white

    //Title Colour and Font
    navigationController?.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = [NSForegroundColorAttributeName:UIColor.white, NSFontAttributeName:UIFont(name:"Arial", size: 20)!]

    navigationController?.navigationBar.clipsToBounds = false
    UIApplication.shared.statusBarStyle = .lightContent
   }


   override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {

    navigationController?.hidesBarsOnSwipe = true

    }

output:
