Attempt to present UIViewController on UIViewController whose view is not in the window hierarchy

Question

Just started using Xcode 4.5 and I got this error in the console:

Warning: Attempt to present < finishViewController: 0x1e56e0a0 > on < ViewCont

Answer 1

I also encountered this problem when I tried to present a UIViewController in viewDidLoad. James Bedford's answer worked, but my app showed the background first for 1 or 2 seconds.

After some research, I've found a way to solve this using the addChildViewController.

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    ...
    [self.view addSubview: navigationViewController.view];
    [self addChildViewController: navigationViewController];
    ...
}
