Answer 1

If the nib is loaded it will call addChildViewController as part of the initialisation process

so a performant solution could be also to overwrite

- (void)addChildViewController:(UIViewController *)childController

there you can catch your childController e.g. by comparing its Class and assign it to a property / ivar

-(void)addChildViewController:(UIViewController *)childController
{
    [super addChildViewController:childController];

    if([childController isKindOfClass:[InstallViewController class]])
    {
        self.installViewController = (InstallViewController *)childController;
    }

}

This will save your from iterating trough the childViewControllers.
