I do not have enough reputation points to add a comment so I will add another answer here.

I have had the same problem and searched for the past hour and finally realized that my issue is because I didn't put the code into method viewWillAppear. Not sure if this is common sense as I just started with objective-c but thought this should be another piece of important information to the answer as the same code didn't work inside viewDidLoad.

According to this post, this code only works if put in the method viewWillAppear.
