Nav bar does not fully cover top of phone screen

Question

I added a nav bar with no nav controller and so the nav bar is only a strip. Is there any way to make the nav bar cover the whole top of the phone screen?

Answer 1

Try setting a delegate object for the navigation bar. Something like;

navigationBar.delegate = self

Conform UIBarPositioningDelegate in your delegate object and attach bar to the top;

ViewController: UIViewController, UIBarPositioningDelegate {
    
    func position(for bar: UIBarPositioning) -> UIBarPosition {
        return .topAttached
    }
    
}
