I found out setting the gesture to disabled only doesn't always work. It does work, but for me it only did after I once used the backgesture. Second time it wouldn't trigger the backgesture.
Fix for me was to delegate the gesture and implement the shouldbegin method to return NO:
- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewDidAppear:animated];
// Disable iOS 7 back gesture
if ([self.navigationController respondsToSelector:@selector(interactivePopGestureRecognizer)]) {
self.navigationController.interactivePopGestureRecognizer.enabled = NO;
self.navigationController.interactivePopGestureRecognizer.delegate = self;
}
}
- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewWillDisappear:animated];
// Enable iOS 7 back gesture
if ([self.navigationController respondsToSelector:@selector(interactivePopGestureRecognizer)]) {
self.navigationController.interactivePopGestureRecognizer.enabled = YES;
self.navigationController.interactivePopGestureRecognizer.delegate = nil;
}
}
- (BOOL)gestureRecognizerShouldBegin:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer
{
return NO;
}
