Hiding the navigation and status bars for only one UIViewController inside a UINavigationController stack

I want one of my pushed viewControllers in a navigation controller stack to be "full screen" - no navigation bar and no status bar. I have this code that hides and shows the navigation bar in one of the view controllers of navigation controller (I want it to be pushed on full screen):

override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillAppear(animated)
    self.navigationController?.setNavigationBarHidden(true, animated:animated)   
}

override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillDisappear(animated)
    self.navigationController?.setNavigationBarHidden(false, animated:animated) 
}

In the same viewController I'm also hiding the status bar with this:

override var prefersStatusBarHidden: Bool {
    return true
}

It is hiding and showing as expected but the problem is that I get a black stripe on the transition when pushing this view controller and back from it (see images).

Push to this controller: Push to this controller

And back from this controller (back button):

Back from this controller

It appears this is happening because of the prefersStatusBarHidden function Removing this solves the issue.

The code for show/hide the nav bar is taken from: https://stackoverflow.com/a/2406167/4207465

and based on apple developer library: "Showing and Hiding the Navigation Bar - When a navigation bar is used in conjunction with a navigation controller, you always use the setNavigationBarHidden:animated: method of UINavigationController to show and hide the navigation bar..."

Not sure why it's happening, Thanks for the help!

There is one solution to fix the black strip during hide and show of navigation bar with or without status bar.

ViewController A : Fullscreen View

override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
    self.navigationController?.setNavigationBarHidden(true, animated: animated)
    super.viewWillAppear(animated)
}

override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {
    UIApplication.sharedApplication().setStatusBarHidden(true, withAnimation: .Fade)
    super.viewDidAppear(animated)
}

ViewController B : With NavigationBar and status bar

override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {

    self.navigationController?.setNavigationBarHidden(false, animated: animated)
    UIApplication.sharedApplication().setStatusBarHidden(false, withAnimation: .None)
    super.viewWillAppear(animated)
}

Please try to hide navigation bar in viewDidAppear. Now you're hidding bar before showing controller.

func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super. viewDidAppear(animated)
    self.navigationController?.setNavigationBarHidden(true, animated:    animated)
}
