how do you do this (build a diary app)

Create a local variable called appearance and assign it the appearance proxy of a UINavigationBar.

you need to call the appearance method on the UINavigationBar class and assign that to a variable.

UINavigationBar *appearance = [UINavigationBar appearance];

this is covered at 1:45 of this video

for more information on the UIAppearance protocol see the documentation
