MSNavigationSwipeController

Subclass of UINavigationController to add swipe right to go back gesture recognizer like most apps (Facebook, Tweetbot) already do.

Just a couple of lines of code that are gonna improve the user experience of every app (especially for iPhone 5 users!).

Get it ready

Add it with CocoaPods

pod 'MSNavigationSwipeController'

and use MSNavigationSwipeController as your navigation controller.

How it works

- (void)addSwipeGestureRecognizer
{
  UISwipeGestureRecognizer *swipeGestureRecognizer = [[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(swipeRecognized:)];
  [self.view addGestureRecognizer:swipeGestureRecognizer];
}

- (void)swipeRecognized:(UISwipeGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer
{
  if (gestureRecognizer.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded &&
    gestureRecognizer.direction & UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionRight) {
    [self popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
  }
}

That's it, really!

You can also temporarily disable it with the property canSwipeRightToGoBack.
