Why does back button not hide in navigation controller?

Question

Code:

self.navigationItem.setHidesBackButton(true, animated: false)

Back button is not getting hidden.

Also tried:

self.navigationController!.navigationItem.setHidesBackButton(true, animated: false)

in the viewDidLoad() method. But it is not working. Why does this not work?

have you added something on the IB ? before and forgot about removing it ? — Mohmmad S, Feb 10 '19 at 07:36

Try this, it works for me:

self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = nil
self.navigationItem.setHidesBackButton(true, animated: false)

Hope this helps.

This is the correct answer, you set the properties on the ViewController's navigationItem and not directly on the NavigationController – Macistador Feb 10 '19 at 17:22
