Programmatically get height of navigation bar

Do something like this ?

    NSLog(@"Navframe Height=%f",
        self.navigationController.navigationBar.frame.size.height);

The swift version is located here

UPDATE

iOS 13

As the statusBarFrame was deprecated in iOS13 you can use this:

extension UIViewController {

    /**
     *  Height of status bar + navigation bar (if navigation bar exist)
     */

    var topbarHeight: CGFloat {
        return (view.window?.windowScene?.statusBarManager?.statusBarFrame.height ?? 0.0) +
            (self.navigationController?.navigationBar.frame.height ?? 0.0)
    }
}

With iPhone-X, height of top bar (navigation bar + status bar) is changed (increased).

Try this if you want exact height of top bar (both navigation bar + status bar):

UPDATE

iOS 13

As the statusBarFrame was deprecated in iOS13 you can use this:

extension UIViewController {

    /**
     *  Height of status bar + navigation bar (if navigation bar exist)
     */

    var topbarHeight: CGFloat {
        return (view.window?.windowScene?.statusBarManager?.statusBarFrame.height ?? 0.0) +
            (self.navigationController?.navigationBar.frame.height ?? 0.0)
    }
}

Objective-C

CGFloat topbarHeight = ([UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarFrame.size.height +
       (self.navigationController.navigationBar.frame.size.height ?: 0.0));

Swift 4

let topBarHeight = UIApplication.shared.statusBarFrame.size.height +
        (self.navigationController?.navigationBar.frame.height ?? 0.0)

For ease, try this UIViewController extension

extension UIViewController {

    /**
     *  Height of status bar + navigation bar (if navigation bar exist)
     */

    var topbarHeight: CGFloat {
        return UIApplication.shared.statusBarFrame.size.height +
            (self.navigationController?.navigationBar.frame.height ?? 0.0)
    }
}

Swift 3

let topBarHeight = UIApplication.sharedApplication().statusBarFrame.size.height +
(self.navigationController?.navigationBar.frame.height ?? 0.0)

Swift version:

let navigationBarHeight: CGFloat = self.navigationController!.navigationBar.frame.height

iOS 14

For me, view.window is null on iOS 14.

extension UIViewController {
    var topBarHeight: CGFloat {
        var top = self.navigationController?.navigationBar.frame.height ?? 0.0
        if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
            top += UIApplication.shared.windows.first?.windowScene?.statusBarManager?.statusBarFrame.height ?? 0
        } else {
            top += UIApplication.shared.statusBarFrame.height
        }
        return top
    }
}

Swift 5

If you want to get the navigation bar height, use the maxY property that considers the safeArea size as well, like this:

 let height = navigationController?.navigationBar.frame.maxY  

Support iOS 13 and Below:

extension UIViewController {

    var topbarHeight: CGFloat {
        if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
            return (view.window?.windowScene?.statusBarManager?.statusBarFrame.height ?? 0.0) +
                (self.navigationController?.navigationBar.frame.height ?? 0.0)
        } else {
            let topBarHeight = UIApplication.shared.statusBarFrame.size.height +
            (self.navigationController?.navigationBar.frame.height ?? 0.0)
            return topBarHeight
        }
    }
}

Did you try this?

let barHeight = self.navigationController?.navigationBar.frame.height ?? 0

UIImage*image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"logo"];

float targetHeight = self.navigationController.navigationBar.frame.size.height;
float logoRatio = image.size.width / image.size.height;
float targetWidth = targetHeight * logoRatio;

UIImageView*logoView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];
// X or Y position can not be manipulated because autolayout handles positions.
//[logoView setFrame:CGRectMake((self.navigationController.navigationBar.frame.size.width - targetWidth) / 2 , (self.navigationController.navigationBar.frame.size.height - targetHeight) / 2 , targetWidth, targetHeight)];
[logoView setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, targetWidth, targetHeight)];
self.navigationItem.titleView = logoView;

// How much you pull out the strings and struts, with autolayout, your image will fill the width on navigation bar. So setting only height and content mode is enough/
[logoView setContentMode:UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit];

/* Autolayout constraints also can not be manipulated since navigation bar has  immutable constraints
self.navigationItem.titleView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false;

NSDictionary*metricsArray = @{@"width":[NSNumber numberWithFloat:targetWidth],@"height":[NSNumber numberWithFloat:targetHeight],@"margin":[NSNumber numberWithFloat:20]};
NSDictionary*viewsArray = @{@"titleView":self.navigationItem.titleView};

[self.navigationItem.titleView addConstraints:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@"|-(>margin=)-H:[titleView(width)]-(>margin=)-|" options:NSLayoutFormatAlignAllCenterX metrics:metricsArray views:viewsArray]];
[self.navigationItem.titleView addConstraints:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@"V:[titleView(height)]" options:0 metrics:metricsArray views:viewsArray]];

NSLog(@"%f", self.navigationItem.titleView.width );
*/

So all we actually need is

UIImage*image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"logo"];
UIImageView*logoView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];
float targetHeight = self.navigationController.navigationBar.frame.size.height;
[logoView setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 0, targetHeight)];
[logoView setContentMode:UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit];

self.navigationItem.titleView = logoView;

Handy Swift 4 extension, in case it's helpful to someone else. Works even if the current view controller does not display a navigation bar.

import UIKit

extension UINavigationController {
  static public func navBarHeight() -> CGFloat {
    let nVc = UINavigationController(rootViewController: UIViewController(nibName: nil, bundle: nil))
    let navBarHeight = nVc.navigationBar.frame.size.height
    return navBarHeight
  }
}

Usage:

UINavigationController.navBarHeight()

The light bulb started to come on. Unfortunately, I have not discovered a uniform way to correct the problem, as described below.

I believe that my whole problem centers on my autoresizingMasks. And the reason I have concluded that is the same symptoms exist, with or without a UIWebView. And that symptom is that everything is peachy for Portrait. For Landscape, the bottom-most UIButton pops down behind the TabBar.

For example, on one UIView, I have, from top to bottom:

UIView – both springs set (default case) and no struts

UIScrollView - If I set the two springs, and clear everything else (like the UIView), then the UIButton intrudes on the object immediately above it. If I clear everything, then UIButton is OK, but the stuff at the very top hides behind the StatusBar Setting only the top strut, the UIButton pops down behind the Tab Bar.

UILabel and UIImage next vertically – top strut set, flexible everywhere else

Just to complete the picture for the few that have a UIWebView:

UIWebView - Struts: top, left, right Springs: both

UIButton – nothing set, i.e., flexible everywhere

Although my light bulb is dim, there appears to be hope.

My application has a couple views that required a customized navigation bar in the UI for look & feel, however without navigation controller. And the application is required to support iOS version prior to iOS 11, so the handy safe area layout guide could not be used, and I have to adjust the position and height of navigation bar programmatically.

I attached the Navigation Bar to its superview directly, skipping the safe area layout guide as mentioned above. And the status bar height could be retrieved from UIApplication easily, but the default navigation bar height is really a pain-ass...

It struck me for almost half a night, with a number of searching and testing, until I finally got the hint from another post (not working to me though), that you could actually get the height from UIView.sizeThatFits(), like this:

- (void)viewWillLayoutSubviews {
    self.topBarHeightConstraint.constant = [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarFrame.size.height;
    self.navBarHeightConstraint.constant = [self.navigationBar sizeThatFits:CGSizeZero].height;

    [super viewWillLayoutSubviews];    
}

Finally, a perfect navigation bar looking exactly the same as the built-in one!

If you want to get the navigationBar height only, it's simple:

extension UIViewController{
   var navigationBarHeight: CGFloat {
       return self.navigationController?.navigationBar.frame.height ?? 0.0
   }
}

However, if you need the height of top notch of iPhone you don't need to get the navigationBar height and add to it the statusBar height, you can simply call safeAreaInsets that's why exist.

self.view.safeAreaInsets.top

Here is the beginning of my response to your update:

Why does the content height of my UIWebView not change with rotation?.

Could it be that because your auto resize doesn't have the autoresizingMask for all directions?

Another suggestion before I come back for this, could you use a toolbar for your needs. It's a little simpler, will always be on the bottom, auto-rotates/positions. You can hide/show it at will etc. Kind of like this: http://cdn.artoftheiphone.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/yellow-pages-iphone-app-2.jpg

You may have looked at that option, but just throwing it out there.

Another idea, could you possibly detect what orientation you are rotating from, and just place the button programmatically to adjust for the tab bar. (This is possible with code)

I have used:

let originY: CGFloat = self.navigationController!.navigationBar.frame.maxY

Working great if you want to get the navigation bar height AND its Y origin.

Swift : programmatically adding a web view right under the navigation bar

From iOS11 the key to position the view below the navigation bar is to use safeAreaLayoutGuide

From the Apple docs (link):

The layout guide representing the portion of your view that is unobscured by bars and other content.

So in code I will put the top constraint using view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.topAnchor

Again the whole thing will be for example:

import WebKit

class SettingsViewController: UIViewController {
let webView = WKWebView()
let url = URL(string: "https://www.apple.com")

override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        configureWebView()
}

override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        follow(url: url)
}

func follow(url: URL?) {
        if let url = url {
            let request = URLRequest(url: url)
            webView.load(request)
    }
}

func configureWebView() {
        view.addSubview(webView)
        webView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
            webView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.trailingAnchor),
            webView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.topAnchor),
            webView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leadingAnchor),
            webView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.bottomAnchor)
        ])
}
}
