I probably would do it in reverse. Create a method in AppDelegate call registerViewController or something. In every ViewController, call the method with itself with a name. Then in AppDelegate, you can do whatever you want afterward. It is messy to do all sort of drill

In AppDelegate

- (void)registerViewController:(NSString *)name controller:(UIViewController *)controller
{
    if(_viewControllers == nil)
    {
        _viewControllers = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];

    }

    [_viewControllers setObject:controller forKey:name];
}

In any ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    AppDelegate *appDelegate = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
    [appDelegate registerViewController:@"feelings" controller:self];
}

In AppDelegate

XViewController *vc = (XViewController *)[_viewControllers objectForKey:@"X"];
[X startSpinner];

Hope this help
