检查RRViewControllerExtension，它专门用于uinnavigation栏外观管理。

在你的项目中使用RRViewControllerExtension，你只需要覆盖

-(BOOL)prefersNavigationBarTransparent;

在你的视图控制器中。

在iOS5中，你可以这样做，使导航栏透明:

nav.navigationBar.translucent = YES; // Setting this slides the view up, underneath the nav bar (otherwise it'll appear black)
const float colorMask[6] = {222, 255, 222, 255, 222, 255};
UIImage *img = [[UIImage alloc] init];
UIImage *maskedImage = [UIImage imageWithCGImage: CGImageCreateWithMaskingColors(img.CGImage, colorMask)];

[nav.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:maskedImage forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault]; 
[img release];

试试下面这段代码:

self.navigationController.navigationBar.translucent = YES;

IOS7:

self.navigationController.navigationBar.translucent = YES;
self.navigationController.navigationBar.shadowImage = [UIImage new];
self.navigationController.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:[UIImage new] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
self.navigationController.navigationBar.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

这适用于Swift 5。

// Clear the background image.
navigationController?.navigationBar.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(), for: .default)

// Clear the shadow image.
navigationController?.navigationBar.shadowImage = UIImage()

// Ensure the navigation bar is translucent.
navigationController?.navigationBar.isTranslucent = true

这似乎很有效:

@implementation UINavigationBar (custom)
- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect {}
@end

navigationController.navigationBar.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
