Question

I have the following structure in my app, is this a correct/valid way of doing it?

UINavigationController attached to the window, the rootcontroller in this navigationcontroller is a UIViewController that presents a tableview. When a user taps one of the rows a UITabBarController is pushed on the stack.

This works, however I began to be unsure when I read this:

Because the UITabBarController class
inherits from the UIViewController
class, tab bar controllers have their
own view that is accessible through
the view property. When deploying a
tab bar interface, you must install
this view as the root of your window.
Unlike other view controllers, a tab
bar interface should never be
installed as a child of another view
controller.

Answer 1

This is not recommended, but it should be OK. The aweful WordPress app also does this. This depends on the design of your app.

I’m not shure about Apple’s approval.
