hidesBarsOnSwipe doesn't work

Question

Have a following structure:

UIViewController ( VC ) with some UIViews ( views ) on the top half of screen and UITableView ( tableView ) on the bottom half of screen. All are on the same hierarchy level within VC's view.

VC is managed by UINavigationController .

Auto-layout is off. Using autoresizing masks.

dataSource and delegate methods are set up and works fine.

What I want to realize:

Hide a navigation bar when scroll up and show in after the scroll down.

What I did:

Since my project supports iOS8+ only, just setting:

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewDidAppear:animated];

    self.navigationController.hidesBarsOnSwipe = YES;
}

should be fine.

What I have:

1. Swiping up and down on the views hides and shows navigation bar respectively.
2. Scrolling tableView makes no sense.

Answer 1

Spent some time on that and found that resizing tableView to make it match to vc's view solves the problem.

Edit:

1. Is it mentioned somewhere in the docs that table view should be only full screen?

2. Found interesting thing: even if you didn't set hidesBarsOnTap to YES and try to tap on navigation area (ie when it's still hidden after swipe) - navigation bar will show after that. Very annoying if you have any UI elements in that area.
