Creating a segue programmatically

Question

I have a common UIViewController that all my UIViewsControllers extend to reuse some common operations.

I want to set up a segue on this \"

Answer 1

Storyboard Segues are not to be created outside of the storyboard. You will need to wire it up, despite the drawbacks.

UIStoryboardSegue Reference clearly states:

You do not create segue objects directly. Instead, the storyboard runtime creates them when it must perform a segue between two view controllers. You can still initiate a segue programmatically using the performSegueWithIdentifier:sender: method of UIViewController if you want. You might do so to initiate a segue from a source that was added programmatically and therefore not available in Interface Builder.

You can still programmatically tell the storyboard to present a view controller using a segue using presentModalViewController: or pushViewController:animated: calls, but you'll need a storyboard instance.

You can call UIStoryboards class method to get a named storyboard with bundle nil for the main bundle.

storyboardWithName:bundle:
