Question

I’m trying to trigger a storyboard segue from a UI element which isn’t in my storyboard (in this case, it’s a UIAlertView). As such, I can’t draw the arrow from any of the existing components in my storyboard.

What’s the proper way to deal with this situation? I need a segue with an identifier, so that I can call it from the relevant UIAlertView button.

Answer 1

You can add your segue by right click + drag from your source controller to your destination controller in your Storyboard. Then just click on the created segue and set the identifier.
You can trigger your segue programmatically like this:

// Note: In this example self is the source controller
// (the controller that holds the segue)
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"mySegue" sender:self];

Here is a screenshot you can use as a reference:
