Enabling observation of the tracking scroll view

If you do not require the flexible header‘s shift behavior, then you can avoid having to manually forward UIScrollViewDelegate events to the flexible header by enabling observesTrackingScrollViewScrollEvents on the flexible header view. Observing the tracking scroll view allows the flexible header to over-extend, if enabled, and allows the header’s shadow to show and hide itself as the content is scrolled.

Note: if you support pre-iOS 11 then you will also need to explicitly clear your tracking scroll view in your deinit/dealloc method.

Swift

flexibleHeaderViewController.headerView.observesTrackingScrollViewScrollEvents = true

deinit {
  // Required for pre-iOS 11 devices because we've enabled observesTrackingScrollViewScrollEvents.
  appBarViewController.headerView.trackingScrollView = nil
}

Objective-C

flexibleHeaderViewController.headerView.observesTrackingScrollViewScrollEvents = YES;

- (void)dealloc {
  // Required for pre-iOS 11 devices because we've enabled observesTrackingScrollViewScrollEvents.
  self.appBarViewController.headerView.trackingScrollView = nil;
}

Note: if observesTrackingScrollViewScrollEvents is enabled then you can neither enable shift behavior nor manually forward scroll view delegate events to the flexible header.
