PopViewController strange behaviour

Question

Due to a weird request which I tried to turn down but it didn\'t work, I had to override the navigationBar\'s back Button.

I have made a custom UINavigationControlle

Answer 1

You probably need to do [super shouldPop... instead of actual [self popViewControllerAnimated:YES];.

The reason being that the way UINavigationController implements stack is private, so you should mess with the method calls as little as possible.

Anyway, this looks like a hack. Moreover, the user will have no visual clue that you are blocking the navigation action. What's wrong with disabling the button via:

self.navigationController.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem.enabled = NO;
