iOS 7 disable the swipe back

Question

In iOS apps, there is a default gesture that swipe from the left edge to right the app navigationController will pop view controller.

But is there a way to disable it for specific view?

iOS Apps changing default gesture actions will not be accepted to the App Store — Cilan, Jan 02 '14 at 05:54

You can disable it through the public API, See UINavigationController Class Reference

  //iOS7 Customization, swipe to pop gesture
  if ([navigationController respondsToSelector:@selector(interactivePopGestureRecognizer)]) {
      navigationController.interactivePopGestureRecognizer.enabled = NO;
  }

Also, you can switch back to previous state when needed

I put it in the appDelegate, and works like a charm! – Fernando Santiago Apr 16 '14 at 22:15

if(navigationController) {
  if ([navigationController respondsToSelector:@selector(interactivePopGestureRecognizer)]) {
    navigationController.interactivePopGestureRecognizer.enabled = NO;
  }
}

its possible but may be a cause for you app rejection

-(void) viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated 
{
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
    self.navigationController.interactivePopGestureRecognizer.enabled = NO;
}
