As an addition to @dulgan's answer, it is always a good approach to use firstObject over objectAtIndex:0, because while first one returns nil if there is no object in the array, latter one throws exception.

UIViewController *rootViewController = self.navigationController.rootViewController;

Alternatively, it'd be a big plus for you to create a category named UINavigationController+Additions and define your method in that.

@interface UINavigationController (Additions)

- (UIViewController *)rootViewController;

@end

@implementation UINavigationController (Additions)

- (UIViewController *)rootViewController
{
    return self.viewControllers.firstObject;
}

@end
