Question

I just came across a crash showing a NSInvalidArgumentException with this message on an app which wasn\'t doing this before.

Application

Answer 1

In my case i was trying to present the viewController (i have the reference of the viewController in the TabBarViewController) from different view controllers and it was crashing with the above message. In that case to avoid presenting you can use

viewController.isBeingPresented

!viewController.isBeingPresented {
          // Present your ViewController only if its not present to the user currently.
}

Might help someone.
