这在Swift 4和iOS 11中都适用。最常见的情况是，当用户点击表视图中的一行，一个新的视图控制器被推送到导航堆栈时，我需要这样做。通常我希望返回按钮是被点击的行所表示的对象的名称或某些属性。我通常在didSelectRowAt中这样做。是这样的:

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {

    let object = // get the object this row represents

    let backButton = UIBarButtonItem()
    backButton.title = object.name // or whatever
    self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = backButton

    // now show or segue to the next view controller
}

Most of solutions kills the original style of BackButton (The left arrowed bar button) while adding a usual button with desired title. So to keep the original style there are 2 ways: 1st: To use undocumented button style (110 or something like that) which I prefer not to do. But if you want you could find how to do it here, on stackoverflow. 2nd: To use I the Trenskow's idea. I liked it and I use it a bit changed. Instead of overriding - (NSString*)title I've decided to keep the original title in the following way (which allows me to use nib's titles as well as given title at push state btw).

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    static NSString * backButtonTitle=@"Back"; //or whatever u want

    if (![self.title isEqualToString:backButtonTitle]){

        UILabel* customTitleView = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
        customTitleView.text = self.title; // original title
        customTitleView.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:20];
        customTitleView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
        customTitleView.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
        customTitleView.shadowColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.0 green:0.0 blue:0.0 alpha:0.5];
        customTitleView.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0, -1);

        [customTitleView sizeToFit];

        self.navigationItem.titleView = [customTitleView autorelease];
        self.title = backButtonTitle; 
    }
}

这个解决方案效果很好，看起来很自然。此外，如果在viewDidLoad方法中使用它，它可以防止执行超过1次。 我也试过杰塞德克的解决方案，但看起来很糟糕。它导致可见的用户标题栏的变化，从原来的BackButton的期望和回来。

斯威夫特版本:

在你的子ViewController中:

override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillAppear(animated)
    self.navigationController?.navigationBar.backItem?.title = "TEXT"
}

好的，就这么办。如果你有一个视图控制器“first”，你通过按按钮等方式导航另一个视图控制器“second”，你需要做一些工作。 首先，你需要在“second”视图控制器的ViewDidLoad方法中创建一个BarButtonItem，如下所示;

    UIBarButtonItem *btnBack = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
                                   initWithTitle:@"Back" 
                                   style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered
                                   target:self
                                   action:@selector(OnClick_btnBack:)];
    self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = btnBack;
    [btnBack release];

之后，你需要在相同的.m文件中为“btnBack”操作编写代码;

-(IBAction)OnClick_btnBack:(id)sender  {
      [self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
    //[self.navigationController pushViewController:self.navigationController.parentViewController animated:YES];
}

这是所有。

对于那些使用故事板的人，只需选择父视图(不是持有目标视图的那个)视图控制器框架(确保你在导航栏上单击右键，然后打开属性检查器，在那里你会发现三个表单输入。第三个“后退按钮”是我们正在寻找的。

UIBarButtonItem *btnBack = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
                                   initWithTitle:@"Back" 
                                   style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered
                                   target:self
                                   action:@selector(OnClick_btnBack:)];
    self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = btnBack;
    [btnBack release];
