self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = YES; removes functionality of the back button but does not remove button

I am following the Ribbit App development in Objective C and have just created add this code: self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = YES; in the ViewDidLoad method in the LoginViewController.m file.

For some reason, the back button disappears and is replace by 'Ribbit' as non-functional text.

Happy to share more info, thanks for your help.

The back button would dissapear since you are setting hidesBackButton to true (YES) - when you say it is replaced by Ribbit - is this in the title section of the navigation bar (centered) or where the back button is?

From the jist of your question, the VC is doing exactly what you have told it to do - hide back button and still display a title.

The 'Ribbit' text is not centered - the title is present on the screen and the Back Button text has been turned into 'Ribbit'.

So essentially the back button functionality has been removed and the text has been replaced with the word 'Ribbit'
