Question

I’m looking for a way to remove an existing UIViewController and add a new one.
I would like to animate that the same way as UINavigationController does it.

Why do I not want to use UINavigationController then?

• I don’t need any of the toolbars or navigation items
• I do not need the UINavigationController‘s awareness of its history (= the stack of pushed controllers)

It must be possible with CATransition but how the heck?

Answer 1

You could hook up to ViewWillAppear method and use CoreAnimation to transition your view into the screen.
