viewDidAppear not getting called

Question

In my main UIViewController I am adding a homescreen view controller as subviews:

   UINavigationController *controller = [[UINavigationController alloc] ini         


        

Answer 1

Presenting view controllers using presentModalViewController or segues or pushViewController should fix it.

Alternatively, if for some reason you want to present your views without the built-in methods, in your own code you should be calling these methods manually. Something like this:

[self addChildViewController:controller];
BOOL animated = NO;
[controller viewWillAppear:animated];
[self.view insertSubview:controller.view atIndex:0];
[controller viewDidAppear:animated];
[controller didMoveToParentViewController:self];
