iOS Present modal view controller on startup without flash

Question

I\'d like to present modally, at first startup, a tutorial wizard to the user.

Is there a way to present a modal UIViewController on application startup

Answer 1

This is how I do it with storyboards and it works with multiple modals. This example has 3. Bottom, middle, and top.

Just be sure to have the storyboardID of each viewController set correctly in interface builder.

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {

    UIStoryboard * storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"Main" bundle:nil];
    BottomViewController *bottomViewController = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"BottomViewController"];
    UIWindow *window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[UIScreen mainScreen].bounds];
    [window setRootViewController:bottomViewController];
    [window makeKeyAndVisible];

    if (!_loggedIn) {
        MiddleViewController *middleViewController = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"middleViewController"];
        TopViewController *topViewController = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"topViewController"];

        [bottomViewController presentViewController:middleViewController animated:NO completion:nil];
        [middleViewController presentViewController:topViewController animated:NO completion:nil];

    }
    else {
        // setup as you normally would.
    }

    self.window = window;

    return YES;
}
