The NavigationBar is covering the top of the view

[egabor]

I had this issue when I added some content to the view.

Maybe similar to this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18953509/how-to-prevent-uinavigationbar-from-covering-top-of-view-in-ios-7 But in iOS 8.

@egabor Did you manage to fix this issue? I experience the same and totally broke my head trying to fix it...

This happens if you extend the edges beneath the navigation bar. To remedy this I used a hack as shown below. This is a temporary solution until someone finds a better way of doing things

In ViewController.m do the following

- (void)viewDidLayoutSubviews
{
    [super viewDidLayoutSubviews];
    if (CGRectGetMinY(self.view.frame) < 64)
    {
        self.view.frame = CGRectOffset(self.view.frame, 0.0, 20.0f);
    }

}

If you are keen, you would realise that this issue never happens when the app starts, thats because on startup, the viewcontroller is initialised taking the status bar into account.

Therefore in the above solution, we check to make sure the status bar has been accounted for, Navigationbar.height(44) + statusBar.height(20) = 64, anything less assume no status bar.

On subsequent initialisations, the viewcontroller is halfway down the screen with only a navigation bar, this does not take into account the status bar.

A good solution would include detecting when the status bar is sitting atop the viewcontroller and refreshing re-layout subviews.
