Answer 1

You don't necessarily need to use prepareForSegue for this. Just reference which ViewController in the TabBarController viewControllers array that you want and cast it.

let vc = self.tabBarController.viewControllers![1] as! HomeViewController
vc.templateForCell = templates

If the ViewControllers in your TabBar are embedded in Navigation Controllers, you can do this:

let navController = self.tabBarController.viewControllers![1] as! UINavigationController
let vc = navController.topViewController as! HomeViewController
vc.templateForCell = templates
