viewDidLoad called before prepareForSegue finishes

Question

I was under the impression that viewDidLoad will be called AFTER prepareForSegue finishes. This is even how Hegarty teaches his Stanford class (as recently as Feb 2013).

Answer 1

I had a similar problem with my dynamic cell which showed a modal when selected. prepareForSegue was executed before didSelect:atIndexPath. What helped me was that in the storyboard I reassigned the segue to start from the controller and not the dynamic cell prototype. I solved the race condition (?) and everything is working perfectly!
