I have a couple of UITableViewController classes and I just noticed that these methods aren’t being called:

-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated;
-(void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated;

I read in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1529769&tstart=0 that I would have to call those methods myself when pushing view controllers, but that’s strange, since it works for anything but UITableViewController.

Also makes it a bit of an issue when I need to have a UITableViewCell deselected in the UIViewController that pushed the UITableViewController.

    Did anyone resolve this because the original post is correct – simply using UITableViewController and pushing the table view of that controller onto the navController does NOT trigger these methods despite the fact that it should. I have a series of UITableViewControllers and table views that are pushed and popped to display hierarchical data – nothing fancy, but the “viewWill/Did/Appear/Disappear” methods are never called. Only the viewDidLoad and viewDidUnload are called.

    There must be a wiring problem in both our setups, but simply pushing a view into the navigationController should be all that is required (?) – hard to believe that this could have gone unnoticed as a fundamental bug this long.
