-viewDidLoad not called in subclassed UIViewController

Question

Have patience with me, I\'m still learning Cocoa Touch. Other -viewDidLoad not being called question was unrelated to my issue, I did search.

I have FooViewCo

Answer 1

And I've answered my own question, so this may help future folks. Since I see viewDidLoad has, as its three top Googles in my suggest, "viewDidLoad not called", "viewDidLoad not getting called", and "viewDidLoad not firing", I imagine this is a usual mistake...

Changing:

fooViewController = [[FooViewController alloc] init];
if(![[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"FooViewController" owner:fooViewController options:nil]) {
    DebugF(@"Failed to load FooViewController");
    return;
}

To:

fooViewController = [[FooViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"FooViewController" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];

Fixed the problem. Obviously a mistake in how I'm using Cocoa.
