Question

I am developing a iPAD app with a UITabViewController and some custom controllers initialized in the App Delegate.
I would like to show a Login screen to be shown before the user can get to the tabbar controller. However, when I try to present the LoginController modally, It doesn’t show up on the screen.
See the code below:

[tabBarController setViewControllers:viewControllers];
[[self window] setRootViewController:tabBarController];

LoginViewController *loginVC = [[LoginViewController alloc] init];
[[self tabBarController]presentModalViewController:loginVC animated:NO];

The screen now only shows the tabBarController? What am I doing wrong?
If I add the loginVC using [[self window]setView:loginVC.View], I see the login screen.

I don’t know why your code is not working, but

Have your try this?

[self.tabBarController.selectedViewController presentModalViewController:loginVC
                                                                animated:NO];

(Just to be sure you did at some point: self.tabBarController = tabBarController so your tabBarController isn’t just a local variable and self. really get to it.)
