Hide back button in navigation bar with hidesBackButton in Swift

I want to hide the back button when transitioning from one view to another. I read the questions regarding this problem and every answer was "use hidesBackButton". The problem with this is:

How can I fix this?

Edit:

Here is how you can replicate this problem(or bug?)
Make a new Tabbed application with Swift in Xcode. In the FirstViewController.swift use performSegueWithIdentifier to navigate to the second view controller. In the SecondViewController.swift hide the navigation bar back button using hidesBackButton and you will see what the problem is.

In XCode 11(maybe sooner, not sure), you can also untick the box under the attribute inspector tab in the storyboard editor if you're not looking to do it programatically.

Try adding this:

let backButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "", style: .Plain, target: navigationController, action: nil)
navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = backButton

Worked for me when I set it in init(), instead of viewDidLoad. Strange though

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view.

    self.navigationController?.navigationBarHidden = false
    var button: UIButton = UIButton()
    button.setImage(UIImage(named: "person-icon.jpg"), forState: .Normal)
    button.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 25, 25)
    button.targetForAction("actioncall", withSender: nil)
    var rightItem:UIBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem()
    rightItem.customView = button
    self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = rightItem

    let backButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "", style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.Plain, target: navigationController, action: nil)
    navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = backButton
}

override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
    let backButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "", style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.Plain, target: navigationController, action: nil)
    navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = backButton
}
