Question

What is the best way to pass an object between two views and how would I go about doing so?

Answer 1

If you are using two view controllers then making property will be best way for you.

in .h file 

NSString *name;

@property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *name;

and in .m 

@synthesize name;
