Strange animation on iOS 7 when using hidesBottomBarWhenPushed in app built targeting <= iOS 6

Question

This problem comes when I build an app targeting iOS 5 or 6, but run it on iOS 7. If I have a controller in a navigationController that is a part of a tabBarController, and I do the following:

controller.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = YES; [self.navigationController pushViewController:testController animated:YES]; 

A strange vertical positioning animation occurs. I would instead like the new controller (with the bottom bar hidden) to push or pop on the navigation controller pushing the tab bar out or bringing it back and with no vertical positioning changes.

Answer 1

You can always remove animation from the UIView with

[self.view.layer removeAllAnimations];
