I am trying to modify a newly placed UITabBarItem item from a UIViewController to a UINavigationController in XCode 4.
Here is a screenshot of a new view controller called “Near Me” and existing view controllers.

Notice how the new one is a UIViewController, I need this changed to a UINavigationController.
Something as simple as this was easily done in Xcode 3.2 and now that Apple has introduced Xcode 4 – it is just horribly difficult to re-learn this new IDE.
You shouldn’t modify a
UIViewControllerto be aUINavigationController. Even though aUINavigationControlleris a subclass ofUIViewController, its job is to manage other View Controllers, not Views.In IB you should create a
UINavigationControllerand then set the existingUIViewControlleras the root controller of the newUINavigationController.
