iPad Navigation Bar custom height

Question

I'm creating an app for people with visual impairment, so I need to have larger controls on the screen. Is there a way to have a taller Navigation Bar with bigger navigation buttons?

I've seen this question asked a few times with no definitive answer. Apple's iOS Human Interface Guidelines states "Don’t specify the height of a navigation bar programmatically," so I assume it is not supported nor recommended. Any other suggestions, besides designing it from scratch?

sometimes I need to glitch the navigation bar.

I am hidding the bar and I am using a component which looks like the native bar, that can have a custom height!

I'm not completely sure how to go about this, but I would suggest subclassing the UINavigationBar. Please look at the answers to this question to get some ideas.

It's for iPhone, but it should also work for iPad.
