Swift 5 - How to hide back button in Navigation bar or move to another screen without back button

Question

I was having this issue and I've tried a lot of solutions that was proposed by some kind people here in the following topic: Swift - How to hide back button in navigation item

I created a ViewController class:

import SwiftUI
import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        
        self.navigationItem.setHidesBackButton(true, animated: true)
        self.navigationController?.navigationBar.isHidden = true
        //self.navigationItem.backButtonTitle = "hohoho"
        self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = nil
        self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = true
        //UINavigationBar.appearance().isHidden = true
      
        //navigationItem.backBarButtonItem =  UIBarButtonItem(title: "Home/Return or nohing", style: .bordered, target: nil, action: nil)
    }
    
    override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewWillAppear(animated)
        
        self.navigationItem.setHidesBackButton(true, animated: true)
        self.navigationController?.navigationBar.isHidden = true
        //self.navigationItem.backButtonTitle = "hohoho"
        self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = nil
        self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = true
        //UINavigationBar.appearance().isHidden = true
      
        //navigationItem.backBarButtonItem =  UIBarButtonItem(title: "Home/Return or nohing", style: .bordered, target: nil, action: nil)
    }
    
    override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewDidAppear(animated)
        
        self.navigationItem.setHidesBackButton(true, animated: true)
        self.navigationController?.navigationBar.isHidden = true
        //self.navigationItem.backButtonTitle = "hohoho"
        self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = nil
        self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = true
        //UINavigationBar.appearance().isHidden = true
      
        //navigationItem.backBarButtonItem =  UIBarButtonItem(title: "Home/Return or nohing", style: .bordered, target: nil, action: nil)
    }
}

and AS you can see in the above code I tried every single way with no change - back button still appear - then I try to make simple change like change the text of the back button or the shape and also there is no result!!

Am I do something wrong :( Because I feel like the whole class is not active for my view

Do I need to create an object of ViewController or something like that? Because I just wrote the mentioned code about my view code.

MY GOAL: I just want to move from view to another with no back button if there is another way I wouldn't mind to do it.

PPLLLSSSS HELPP ME Guys I'm so tired, I'll work on another things until find a solution for that and I'm sure there is a lot of people who want a solution for that issue.

Once I find the solution I'll share it with you guys :) Best Wishes and Regards

override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() // Do any additional setup after loading the view. self.navigationItem.setHidesBackButton(true, animated: false) } put this code in the second view controller to which you segue into — vrao, Jul 06 '22 at 05:12

I had the exact same problem and the only solution that worked was adding .navigationBarBackButtonHidden(true) in my SwiftUI view

You just have to add the below code in the ViewController where you want to hide the backbutton.

navigationItem.setHidesBackButton(true, animated: true)

class ViewController: UIViewController { @IBAction func btnPressed(_ sender: Any) { performSegue(withIdentifier: "testSegue", sender: self)} override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() // Do any additional setup after loading the view. } override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) { if segue.identifier == "testSegue"{ let viewController:ViewController2 = segue.destination as! ViewController2 }}} – vrao Jul 10 '22 at 03:19
class ViewController2: UIViewController { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() self.navigationItem.setHidesBackButton(true, animated: false) } – vrao Jul 10 '22 at 03:21
I still dont understand why you would want to hide the back button? – vrao Jul 10 '22 at 03:24

Segue from viewController to viewController2 and name the segue testSegue. This should work.
