How to set iOS navigationItem prompt without animation?

Question

When I set

self.navigationItem.prompt = @"";

in viewDidLoad, it animates the navigationBar taller. I want to show it taller, but without the animation. How can I lose the animation?

Answer 1

This seems to do the trick:

[UIView setAnimationsEnabled:NO];
self.navigationItem.prompt = @"";
[UIView setAnimationsEnabled:YES];
