In UISplitViewController, can't make showDetailViewController:sender: push onto detail navigationController

Question

In iOS 8, view controllers can now call showDetailViewController:sender: to have the system determine the proper view controller to present the detail view controll

Answer 1

The way You doing it have a problem. If your rotate the device(change the mode from collapsed to allVisible) after you select, you will find the detail vc without a navigation controller.

If you call showDetailViewController:sender: in all cases and pass the view controller with a navigation controller it will work fine in both cases and also will fix the rotaion problem mentioned above.

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    self.itemVC.item = self.itemStore.items[indexPath.row];

    UIViewController *vcToShow= [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:self.itemVC];
    [self showDetailViewController:vcToShow sender:self];
}
