I’m trying to add a custom root view controller (let’s call it MyViewController )

  • 0

I’m trying to add a custom root view controller (let’s call it MyViewController) to my storyboard but every time I do so, I get a black screen, no warning, no error, no nothing, just a back screen. The strange thing is, if I log self.window.rootViewController the object is of MyViewController type. Also, if I use a standard UIViewController instead of MyViewController everything’s fine. Did anybody encountered this strange issue before?

    The stock UIViewController subclass that Xcode provides you has loadView overridden. If you’re using it with a storyboard, remove the overridden loadView implementation.

    I keep getting exactly this same issue and every time it takes me a few seconds of confusion before I remember what’s going on…!
