ViewController covered up by NavigationBar

Question

My view is going under the navigation bar. Most of the view is showing, except the top part which is covered up by the Nav bar. How do I prevent that?

Answer 1

You must set the anchor to safeAreaLayoutGuide like this:

NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
myView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.topAnchor)
])

same thing for bottom if you have a tabbar:

NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
myView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.bottomAnchor)
])

Also, remember to set .translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false on "myView"

Answer 2

self.navigationController.navigationBar.isTranslucent = false
