Question

This is my Hierarchy

Navigation Controller  --> Login Controller View --- > Register Controller View
                       --> My Small Internal LeaderBoard View

Now I am using segues (Push) to go to either LoginControllerView or LeaderBoardView

Once I am on LoginControllerView and then RegisterControllerView I am using this code

[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil]

However instead of returning me to LoginControllerView it is returning me back to NavigationController.

How can I return to my LoginController

I am transitioning from Login to Register through PUSH segue and I have named the segue as “Register”

From Login To RegisterController I am using this code

[self PerformSegueWithIdentifier:@"Register" sender:Self]

However, I can see from RegisterView connection inspector that its viewController reference StoryBoard Segue is “Login” .. I am transitioning from Login to Register with Register Segue, How can my RegisterController has Login segue as reference?

Answer 1

You did not say how RegisterControllerView is being presented. If it is being pushed on the navigation controller stack, then why not call:

[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];

If you are doing something special, then you need to say what special thing you are doing.

Also, note that if you find where a view controller is trying to dismiss itself, then you should at minimum revisit your design to see if that’s really the best thing to do. A view controller may not know how it was presented, so it may not know the best way to dismiss itself either.
