Question

I know this is an error that has been explained at length in numerous other questions. However it still seems to be a topic for debate as its highly subjective. I have two questions;

How detrimental is this error?

I’ve been working on an app that requires a custom UINavigationController. I create a false root that allows me to change the perceived root more easily. To create this affect I ‘pop’ to the false root then immediately ‘push’ the new one. Like this;

[self popToViewController:self.fakeRootViewController animated:NO];
[self pushViewController:newRootViewController animated:NO];

I’ve been working with this for weeks. I’ve not had any unexpected side effect or any negative reactions. So to sum up; Do I need to worry about this error?

Is there a better way?

Having explained my situation my second question is simply how else can I set the rootViewController?

Thank you

You can also push the newRootViewController in the fakeRootViewController’s
-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
