Set navigation bar to transparent in iOS 11

(void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    [super viewDidAppear:animated];
    [self.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:[UIImage new]
                                                  forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
    self.navigationController.navigationBar.shadowImage = [UIImage new];
    self.navigationController.navigationBar.translucent = YES;
    self.navigationController.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
    self.navigationController.navigationBar.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
}

Answer 2

The parameter aren't a values of 0 to 255 but a float between 0.0 and 1.0:

[UIColor colorWithRed:0.0f/255.0f green:155.0f/255.0f blue:218.0f/255.0f alpha:1.0f]; 

Answer 3

The values need to be floats (in the range 0.0 to 1.0), not ints (in the range 0 to 255).

+ (UIColor *)colorWithRed:(CGFloat)red green:(CGFloat)green blue:(CGFloat)blue alpha:(CGFloat)alpha

Try:

[UIColor colorWithRed:136.0/255.0 green:155.0/255.0 blue:218.0/255.0 alpha:1.0]; 

Answer 4

The params are not integers but floats, so you probably want to divide all color float values with 255. Like this:

  [UIColor colorWithRed:136.0/255 green:155.0/255 blue:218.0/255 alpha:1.0];

That's why the color changes when you set red to 0 instead of 1 which 136 means in this case.
