Is there a way to disable UINavigationBar Translucency for an entire application?

I'm aware that using [self.navigationController.navigationBar setTranslucent:NO] can fix this issue for a single controller, but I have a lot of UINavigationBars in my application and this is a pretty tedious solution.

I've tried [[UINavigationBar appearance] setTranslucent:NO], but that functionality is surprisingly not supported. Doing that results in Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** Illegal property type, c for appearance setter, _installAppearanceSwizzlesForSetter:'

If I HAVE to, I can go through my entire app setting UINavigationBars to disable translucency one by one, but there must be some more elegant solution to this issue...

if you set the translucence of the first navigation bar in the stack to false [self.navigationController.navigationBar setTranslucent:NO], it will reflect in all the following NavigationViewController that are pushed to that stack.
