My UINavigationitem's TitleView getting expanded in ios 6

Question

In my app I have applied an image on uinavigation item. It is running fine in iOS 5 but getting expanded on iOS 6. I have no left or right bar button item in navigation bar.

Answer 1

I have the following code in my project, and works fine under iOS 5 and iOS 6. Can you try this:

self.navigationItem.titleView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"topNav-logo.png"]];

Also, be sure to have both @2x and regular sizes of the image.

Answer 2

I have the same issue starting at iOS 6, and found the craziest workaround:

Create one more UIImageView of the same dimension. Then add the navigationImage as a subview to that. In my case this will prevent the auto resizing.

UIImageView *workaroundImageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 98, 34)];
[workaroundImageView addSubview:navigationImage];
self.navigationItem.titleView=workaroundImageView;

If anyone finds a proper solution or an explanation please post it.
