Question

I notice “-(id) init” in ViewController is not executed when using storyboard. is there any other method that could replace init, or is there is away to force firing init.

Answer 1

try to use

- (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder*)aDecoder 
{
    if(self = [super initWithCoder:aDecoder]) 
 {
        // Do something
    }
    return self;
}
