Xcode 6 storyboard navigation bar width not full width for iPhone 6

Question

The navigation bar width stays 320 even for iPhone 6 (which needs 375)

There is no change of navigation bar appearance or frame via code.

Simple view controller embedded in UINavigationController

Xcode says the width on the storyboard is still 320, (and it doesn't allow me to change).

EDIT: The Navigation Controller in question has a storyboard identifier and is being presented modally over another view controller.

Answer 1

try adding your navigation controller programatically and then push or present the view controller. This should work

Answer 2

I had the same problem implementing this category:

#import "UINavigationBar+CustomHeight.h"
#import "objc/runtime.h"

static char const *const heightKey = "Height";

@implementation UINavigationBar (CustomHeight)

- (void)setHeight:(CGFloat)height
{
    objc_setAssociatedObject(self, heightKey, @(height), OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN_NONATOMIC);
}

- (NSNumber *)height
{
    return objc_getAssociatedObject(self, heightKey);
}

- (CGSize)sizeThatFits:(CGSize)size
{
    CGSize newSize;

    if (self.height) {
        newSize = CGSizeMake(self.window.bounds.size.width, [self.height floatValue]);
    } else {
        newSize = [super sizeThatFits:size];
    }
    return newSize;
}

@end

The method [super sizeThatFits:size] was returning the wrong size so adding the following line after the super method will fix it.

newSize.width = self.window.bounds.size.width;

Seems that the storyboard views auto includes the category, thats why add it programatically works.

I think you have created a extension of NavigationBar like below:

extension UINavigationBar {

    override public func sizeThatFits(size: CGSize) -> CGSize {
        super.sizeThatFits(size)
        var sizeThatFits = super.sizeThatFits(size)
        sizeThatFits.height = CGFloat(TABBAR_HEIGHT)
        //fix for fill to width of screen in new window
        if self.window != nil{
            sizeThatFits.width = self.window!.bounds.size.width
        }
        return sizeThatFits
    }
}
