This may not be the most elegant solution, but I believe it does exactly what you'd want it to. I came across a similar problem, and my solution was to have a method which hides the navigation bar, which is called after a delay of 0 seconds as follows.

The method that is called is:

-(void) hideNavBar {
    if (self.navigationController.navigationBar.hidden == NO)
    {
        [self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:YES animated:YES];
    }
}

Then in the viewDidLoad method, I have the following:

[self performSelector:@selector(hideNavBar) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.0];

This works and removes the navigation bar in one instantaneous swoop. You can amend the delay time if you want the animation or for it to be removed after a delay. I tried [self hideNavBar] but that simply did not work, so sticking to what I have above.

Hope this helps, and if someone has a more elegant solution, I'm interested!
