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];

在按照上面大家说的去做之后，也就是:

navigationController?.navigationBar.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(), forBarMetrics: .default)
navigationController?.navigationBar.shadowImage = UIImage()
navigationController!.navigationBar.isTranslucent = true

．.． 我的导航栏还是白色的。所以我加了这一行:

navigationController?.navigationBar.backgroundColor = .clear

．.． 果不其然!这似乎奏效了。

在Swift 4.2中

self.navigationController?.navigationBar.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(), for: .default)
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.shadowImage = UIImage()
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.isTranslucent = true

(在viewWillAppear中)然后在viewWillDisappear中，撤销它，put

self.navigationController?.navigationBar.shadowImage = nil
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.isTranslucent = false

extension UINavigationBar {
var isTransperent: Bool {
        get {
            return false // Just to satisfy property
        }
        set {
            if newValue {
                self.shadowImage = UIImage()
                self.isTranslucent = true
                self.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(), for: .default)
            } else {
                self.shadowImage = UIImage()
                self.isTranslucent = false
                self.setBackgroundImage(nil, for: .default)
            }
        }
    }
}

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];

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。
