Answer 1

It is 2015 now and you probably don't need to use the UINavigationControllerDelegate methods as in the accepted answer. Just check carefully your code if you have any typo or copy/paste error.

I ran into an issue lately that viewDidAppear is no longer called after some copy/paste. After reading @Yar's answer, I did a search on viewDidAppear in my code and found that [super viewDidAppear:animated]; was mistakenly called in viewWillAppear:

-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
   [super viewDidAppear:animated];
   //...      ^^^ 
}

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewDidAppear:animated];
    // this is never called :(
}

Just share this finding here in case people run into same issue.
