This is my first app using storyboards/segues, and I’m pretty sure the answer to this is easy, but I’ll be as thorough as possible in describing my issue.
I am making a simple app which has a Tab Bar Controller scene and two View Controllers.
My app launches by being sent a URL from another app. The application:openURL:sourceApplication:annotation: method in the app delegate performs some work to determine
- which tab to display first, and
- what information to display on it.
My goal is to use the performSegueWithIdentifier method (I’m open to alternatives though) from within the AppDelegate to select the tab, and also find a way to send a method to the instance of the view controller created by the storyboard.
Issue #1 is that I can’t set an identifier. When I select the tab “relationship” there are no choices available in the Attributes Inspector (it says “Not Applicable”). How do I set a name for this segue? Can I? Or is there some rule under which UITabBarController segues can’t be trigger programmatically?
Issue #2 is that I can’t find a way to have a pointer to the view controller. Pre-Storyboard I would alloc and init a new view controller and then set it up, but here if I do that, it does not get displayed when my app launches (I think this is because Storyboard is displaying a different instance of the same view controller.)
I know this post is long, but I feel like I’m missing something simple. What is it?
Sounds like you need to have your AppDelegate set the entry point to your storybard.
