Xcode 4.5 Storyboard 'Exit'

Question

I have just installed Xcode 4.5 for iOS6 support, and I have seen a new icon called \'Exit\' in my Storyboard, listed under my view controllers along with \'First Responder\

Answer 1

See also Cannot Connect Storyboard Unwind Segue which clarifies the requirements to bring the Exit icon to life. You must have, higher up in the view controller hierarchy, a method that is:

1. Marked as IBAction

2. Takes one parameter that is a UIStoryboardSegue*

If both those conditions are met, the Exit icon will see it and will permit you connect through to it by control-dragging from a button in the same view controller.

I have also now posted the world's simplest example here:

https://github.com/mattneub/Programming-iOS-Book-Examples/tree/master/ch19p638presentedViewControllerStoryboard (fixed 12 July 2013)

This shows how trivially easy it now is to segue to and back from a presented view controller, as opposed to all the work you had to do previously in order to hand info back and forth (the stuff in the template with a delegate and a protocol, all of which can now be deleted).
