I don't see bottom bar buttons...(using Xcode 5.1.1)

Question

So I was editing a project of mine today, and I when I was running it I suddenly realized that the bottom bar buttons don't show at all. It used to in previous builds. I even put together a simple example and ran the product in the simulator -- no bottom bar buttons or bottom bar!!! Here's what I want to see:

But that bottom bar doesn't show.

What's going on here? I even set the view's bottom bar to "opaque toolbar." It just doesn't show. Using Xcode 5.1.1 -- is this an issue with this version of Xcode?

Here's the super-simple project:

Answer 1

In the "super-simple" project, it's because your navigation controller's Shows Toolbar is turned off (in the storyboard).

Check that checkbox and run the project; the bottom bar will now appear (I tried it so I know it works!).

Answer 2

I can't comment on Matt's post (which is correct), but in addition to his "Shows Toolbar" toggle, you can specify what kind of toolbar you want in the app from the navigation controller in the storyboard (i.e. opaque toolbar, translucent toolbar, translucent black tab bar, etc).
