NavigationBar without statusbar overlaps safearea in iOS11

Question

I have a problem in iOS11 with the iPhoneX simulator.

I have a viewcontroller without the statusbar. To do this I add:

- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden {
    return YES;
}

It is good so far but the navigationbar overlaps the safearea in the iPhoneX.

How can I fix this?

is your navigation bar a standard UINavigationBar, or a custom solution? — Cal Stephens, Sep 27 '17 at 20:46
Hi, my full-screen app uses navigation controllers too and I'm having the same issue. Did you manage to solve it? — Fernando Reynoso, Oct 12 '17 at 18:48
@FernandoReynoso Yes I solved this. I'm gonna write the solution — Pablo Martinez, Oct 13 '17 at 06:23

Finally the solution was using safeAreaInsets

if (@available(iOS 11.0, *)) {
        UIEdgeInsets safeInsets = UIApplication.sharedApplication.delegate.window.safeAreaInsets;
        paddingTop = safeInsets.top;
}

You can do this programatically or using autolayout
