Stretch UINavigationBar behind status bar

Question

I've subclassed UINavigationBar to have a default, blurred image there.

I'm overriding the drawRect: method like this:

- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect {
    self.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor];
}

But as you can see, the color doesn't stretch under the status bar:

Why is this? Usually, the storyboard-created bar would stretch behind the status bar.

See my answer in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19061069/make-navigation-bar-stretch-behind-status-bar-in-xcode-5-ios7. This is still applicable — Carien van Zyl, Oct 09 '17 at 08:20

This isn't the proper way to change the UINavigationBar color. Refer to Set background color for UINavigationBar

How can I use UIApperance for only one UINavigationBar? Not all of them – Erik Feb 29 '16 at 13:07

But I'm not setting the color, I need to set the background image – Erik Feb 29 '16 at 13:47
