Question

i create an iPad app where i have three custom UIViewController.
VC1, VC2, VC3.
Its like a hierarchy so you have to step through each stage after another.

Therefore you can´t jump directly from VC1 to VC3.

But if you are in VC3 you can go back to VC2 or VC1 directly.
On VC3 i can just call dismissViewControllerAnimated to present the VC2 – cool.

But whats the best way if i would like to jump back from VC3 to VC1 ?
Is there a reason why it would be bad to just use “alloc and init” to the VC1 and then presentViewController:animated:completion ?

Answer 1

Yes it would be bad since VC1 already exists, you would have a duplicate.
You can use this to go from VC3 to VC1.

[self.presentingViewController.presentedViewController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
