Swift - Unable to show Navigation Bar

Question

I know the questions has been asked multiple times, and I went through the regular steps detailed in some of the posts but it didn't work. Clearly am missing a small detail that is leading to this unexpected behavior.

I have a tab bar controller from which there is a VC that inherits from UITableViewController (annotated as VC1). When I click on a row in the table, it takes me to another view (annotated as VC2) which shows the details. I want to have the navigation bar shown in the details view but it is not. I tried the following options:

• I tried to set the segue as Show type and Show Detail type. Didn't work.
• I tried in viewWillAppear to do self.navigationController?.navigationBarHidden = false, but that didn't work either.
• I tried in viewWillAppear to do self.tabBarController?.navigationController?.navigationBarHidden = false, but that didn't work.
  • I embedded a navigation controller, but again no luck.

Can someone please outline something I could be missing?

Answer 1

Try to use a detailViewController, check out the Master-Detail template in Xcode. Maybe it is an Xcode bug, try to restart Xcode or recreate the ViewControllers

Answer 2

Make sure for top bar here it says Inferred and not none.
