Perform push segue after an unwind segue

Question

I am working on a camera app where the camera views are shown modally. After I am done with cropping. I perform an unwind segue to the MainPageViewController. (

Answer 1

A bit late to the party but I found a way to do this without using state flags

Note: this only works with iOS 9+, as only custom segues support class names prior to iOS9 and you cannot declare an exit segue as a custom segue in storyboards

1. Subclass UIStoryboardSegue with UIStoryboardSegueWithCompletion

class UIStoryboardSegueWithCompletion: UIStoryboardSegue {
    var completion: (() -> Void)?

    override func perform() {
        super.perform()
        if let completion = completion {
            completion()
        }
    }
}

2. Set UIStoryBoardSegueWithCompletion as the class for your exit segue

note: the action for this segue should be unwindToMainMenu to match the original question

3. Update your unwind @IBAction to execute the code in the completion handler

@IBAction func unwindToMainMenu(segue: UIStoryboardSegue) {
    if let segue = segue as? UIStoryboardSegueWithCompletion {
        segue.completion = { 
            self.performSegueWithIdentifier("Categories", sender: self) 
        }
    }
}

Your code will now execute after the exit segue completes its transition
