UIButton above navigation bar. Touch up event doesn't work

Question

I have a viewcontroller with button "close" which is located on the navigation bar place. That's how it looks:

The code where I hide navigation bar:

    self.navigationController!.navigationBar.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(), for: .default)
    self.navigationController!.navigationBar.shadowImage = UIImage()
    self.navigationController!.navigationBar.isTranslucent = true
    navItem.setHidesBackButton(true, animated: true)

The button is visible but touch up event doesn't work. If I move button below navigation bar area everything works fine.

I tried :

    self.navigationController!.navigationBar.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
    self.navigationController!.navigationBar.isExclusiveTouch = false

Unfortunately, it didn't help. How can I fix this issue?

Answer 1

Isn't the Close button a navigationBar button?

navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem?.isEnabled = true

navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(title: "CLOSE", style: .done, target: self, action: #selector(handleRightBarButton))

@objc handleRightBarButton()
{
    //Hide function here? 
}
