Answer 1

I had the same problem on ios7. I called it in selector and it worked on both ios7 and ios8.

[self performSelector: @selector(showMainView) withObject: nil afterDelay: 0.0];

- (void) showMainView {
    HomeViewController * homeview = [
        [HomeViewController alloc] initWithNibName: @
        "HomeViewController"
        bundle: nil];
    UINavigationController * navcont = [
        [UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController: homeview];
    navcont.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
    navcont.navigationBar.barTintColor = App_Theme_Color;
    [navcont.navigationBar
    setTitleTextAttributes: @ {
        NSForegroundColorAttributeName: [UIColor whiteColor]
    }];
    navcont.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFullScreen;
    navcont.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;
    [self.navigationController presentViewController: navcont animated: YES completion: ^ {

    }];
}

One solution

DetailViewController *controller = [[DetailViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil                                                                                 
                                        bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];  

UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:controller];
navController.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical;
navController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationCurrentContext;



[self.navigationController presentViewController:navController 
                                        animated:YES 
                                        completion:nil];

Answer 3

Can you use:

[self.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];

Going back (I think):

[self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:YES];

Answer 4

I use this code. It's working fine in iOS 8.

MyProfileEditViewController *myprofileEdit=[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"myprofileeditSid"];
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:myprofileEdit];
[self presentViewController:navigationController animated:YES completion:^{}];

Answer 5

It is true that if you present a view controller modally on the iPhone, it will always be presented full screen no matter how you present it on the top view controller of a navigation controller or any other way around. But you can always show the navigation bar with the following workaround way:

Rather than presenting that view controller modally present a navigation controller modally with its root view controller set as the view controller you want:

MyViewController *myViewController = [[MyViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navigationController = 
    [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:myViewController];

//now present this navigation controller modally 
[self presentViewController:navigationController
                   animated:YES
                   completion:^{

                        }];

You should see a navigation bar when your view is presented modally.

If you use NavigationController in Swift 2.x

let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let targetViewController = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("targetViewControllerID") as? TargetViewController
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(targetViewController!, animated: true)
