Pushing a navigation controller is not supported- performing segues

Question

I created a new navigation controller in my storyboard (not programmatically!) and set it to be \"Root View Controller\" to a regular UIViewController and added a button in

Answer 1

I had the same trouble. I wanted to have a navigation controller on each storyboard, so that each could run independently, be individually debugged, and so that the look would be right with the navigation bar.

Using other approaches, I found the UINavigationController would be retained from the original storyboard -- which I didn't want -- or I'd get errors.

Using the AppDelegate in your view controller to set the rootViewController worked for me (borrowing segue naming conventions from Segue to another storyboard?):

- (void)showStartupNavigationController {
NSLog(@"-- Loading storyboard --");

//Get the storyboard from the main bundle.
UIStoryboard *storyBoard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"Startup" bundle:nil];
//The navigation controller, not the view controller, is marked as the initial scene.
UINavigationController *theInitialViewController = [storyBoard instantiateInitialViewController];

NSLog(@"-- Loading storyboard -- Nav controller: %@", theInitialViewController);

//Remove the current navigation controller.
[self.navigationController.view removeFromSuperview];
UIWindow *window = [(AppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate] window];
window.rootViewController = theInitialViewController;
