The basic premise is that I want to put some images and other assets in the middle of the navigation bar and need it to be a little thicker than it is by default. Currently it defaults to 44 points and I want to double that height.
You can find many older Q/A's about how to do this but something in the later xcode/iOS 11+ is preventing any of the other solutions to work. The most comprehensive one is the in the link below:

I've tried all the answers in that chain, and many others from other Q/A's and none appear to be working any longer in iOS 11+. I wanted to start a new question that specifically addresses this question about iOS 11 and later which there appears to be no good answers to.
Any help is much appreciated.
