Graphic issue presenting MFMessageComposeViewController

Question

I've this strange issue when i'm presenting a MFMessageComposeViewController in my app!

I don't know what this black bar is and i'm unable to remove the app logo from the NavigationBar.

And here is the code for presenting the controller

MFMessageComposeViewController *messageController = [[MFMessageComposeViewController alloc] init];
[[messageController navigationBar] setBarTintColor:SMAN_ORANGE_COLOR];
[[messageController navigationBar] setTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
messageController.messageComposeDelegate = self;
[messageController setRecipients:recipents];
[messageController setBody:message];

// Present message view controller on screen
[self presentViewController:messageController animated:YES completion:nil];

Answer 1

To remove the app logo, try to add in your method above the following code:

messageController.navigationItem.titleView = [UIImageView new];

To change the Status Bar style (White Color) add the following code before presenting the messageController:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleLightContent animated:YES];

Also in your .plist file set:

View controller-based status bar appearance to NO

Answer 2

I solve the issue subclassing my UINavigationController and changing the appearance of it with [UINavigationBar appearanceWhenContainedIn:[myNavControllerSubclass class], nil]

Answer 3

   [self presentViewController:messageController animated:YES completion:^{
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleLightContent animated:NO];
}];

this works in ios 8 for the white status bar

Refer answer #1 also.

Answer 4

As per Apple's documentation you can only present it modally.

[self presentModalViewController:messageController animated:YES];
