How do you extend a navigation-bar vertically?

(Swift)

Hi, it seems as when comparing my navigation bar height to others i've seen mines not quite as high, so i was wondering how do I extend it vertically?

Some examples..:

Hi Matthew,

In order to get the navigation bar to extend to the top of your app you need to embed it within a navigation controller which you can do by selecting your view controller and then via the Editor menu in the menu bar navigate to Embed In and choose Navigation Controller.

Embed In Navigation Controller

Now you will have a nicer looking bar that extends from the status bar and is 66 pixels high.

Happy coding.

those are normally custom navBars. I usually use Visual Effect View with Blur and build my own nabber with custom segues.

I hope this leads you in the right direction
