I\'ve tried to use

Answer 1

In iOS 9, Apple finally fixed this:

// Loads the view controller's view if it has not already been set.
@available(iOS 9.0, *)
public func loadViewIfNeeded()

Answer 2

You can create a global instance for that controller(May be in AppDelegate) and call the method you want to perform the action for. Then While pushing to that controller don't create a new instance Just use the instance you have created for global use.

Answer 3

Swift 2.0, with same result of @Carl Veazey's solution:

let viewController = MyCustomViewController()
_ = viewController.view

Answer 4

You can just call [viewController view];.

The documentation for UIViewController explains how the view property is lazy-loaded and that viewDidLoad is called after the view is loaded.
