Xcode – How to reduce the left and right gaps in custom view for Navigation bar in iOS

I recently added a side menu which is having a UITableviewController class as the Menu . In this ViewController i added a custom view to the Navbar through this code. But when i run in device i get extra space on left and right side of the view . How to remove this?

import UIKit
    
class SettingsTableController: UITableViewController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        let newView = UIView()
        newView.frame = CGRect(x:UIApplication.shared.statusBarFrame.origin.x,y:UIApplication.shared.statusBarFrame.height, width: view.frame.size.width + 10, height: self.navigationController!.navigationBar.frame.height)
        //#710193
        newView.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
        let lblTitle = UILabel()
        lblTitle.text = "           Animals"
        lblTitle.textColor = UIColor.white
        lblTitle.font = UIFont(name: "HelveticaNeue-Bold", size: 18.0)
        lblTitle.frame = newView.bounds
        newView.addSubview(lblTitle)
        navigationItem.titleView = newView
    }
}

so it produces the output as below. I want to remove the pointed out gaps which is shown through red arrows enter image description here.

    You are setting frame but also need to autolayout. So after newView.addSubview(lblTitle) add below codes.

    newView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
newView.layoutIfNeeded()
newView.sizeToFit()
newView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = true 
navigationItem.titleView = newView

    I have changed some line of code in your code and it is working fine for me

    let newView = UIView()
newView.frame = CGRect(x:UIApplication.shared.statusBarFrame.origin.x,y:UIApplication.shared.statusBarFrame.height, width: view.frame.size.width, height: self.navigationController!.navigationBar.frame.height)
//#710193
newView.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
let lblTitle = UILabel()
lblTitle.text = "           Animals"
lblTitle.textColor = UIColor.white
lblTitle.font = UIFont(name: "HelveticaNeue-Bold", size: 18.0)
lblTitle.frame = newView.bounds
newView.addSubview(lblTitle)

    You are adding newView to titleView of navigationItem instead of adding that to navigationBar of navigationController

      self.navigationController?.navigationBar.addSubview(newView)

    Try to use auto layout constraint programatically in swift. The link is provided below
