Programmatically Created UINavigationController with Large Title Falls Under UIStatusBar

Question

I'm programmatically creating a UINavigationController:

navigationController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: modeSelectVC!)
navigationController?.delegate = self

window.rootViewController = navigationController
window.makeKeyAndVisible()

Then I customize my UINavigationBar appearance like so:

navigationBarAppereance.barTintColor = UIColor.ColorPalette.bostonUniversityRed
navigationBarAppereance.tintColor = UIColor.ColorPalette.eerieBlack
navigationBarAppereance.barStyle = .black
navigationBarAppereance.isTranslucent = true
navigationBarAppereance.prefersLargeTitles = true
navigationBarAppereance.largeTitleTextAttributes = [NSAttributedStringKey.foregroundColor: UIColor.ColorPalette.babyPowder]

The configured UINavigationBar is hidden in the rootViewController provided along with the status bar but when the rootViewController pushes another view controller, both the status bar and the navigation bar becomes visible like so:

The result is as I programmed it to be but as you can also see above, the back button is misaligned. If I let go of the large title preferring, then the back button is properly aligned as usual but why does it get misaligned when large title is used.

Answer 1

I kind of solved the problem. Once I enabled the status bar on the initial view controller, afterwards, whatever got presented, correctly displayed the navigation bar along with the status bar.

I still don't know what caused the issue(if it was an implementation mistake of mine or poor documentation) but dealing with the UINavigationBar can be tricky!
