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];

对于任何想在Swift 2.x中这样做的人:

self.navigationController?.navigationBar.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(), forBarMetrics: .Default)
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.shadowImage = UIImage()
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.translucent = true

或Swift 3.x:

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

我知道这个话题是旧的，但如果人们想知道如何在不重载drawRect方法的情况下完成。

这是你需要的:

self.navigationController.navigationBar.translucent = YES;
self.navigationController.navigationBar.opaque = YES;
self.navigationController.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor clearColor];
self.navigationController.navigationBar.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

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

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

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];
