I am making a game, where I go from the main screen to a ArcadeViewController, which loads up the SKScene, and save the previous VC as prevVC.
I use segues created in storyboard to move between VC.
The problem is that each time I move to a VC, instead of moving into the old one, a copy gets created, and both of them start to run at the same time.
I tried removing them by running the following codes, when I move into the VC:
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController = self
self.view.window?.rootViewController?.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
prevVC.reloadViewFromnib()
prevVC.dismiss(animated: false, completion: nil)
UserDefaults.standard.set(0, forKey: "since_The_Last_Ad")
}
extension UIViewController {
func reloadViewFromnib() {
let parent = view.superview
view.removeFromSuperview()
view = nil
parent?.addSubview(view) // This line causes the view to be reloaded
}
}
It helped to reduce the number of copies created, but still the are some.
How can I remove duplicate views?
So the solution ended up being to use the normal segue to launch the ArcadeVC from GameVC(start VC) for the first time.
Then set the ArcadeVC as rootVC:
UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController = self
Then use a normal segue to go back to the GameVC.
After the ArcadeVC is set as the rootVC, just use normal segue to the ArcadeVC form GameVC, and unwind from GameVC to AracdeVC.

I try my best to explain what is happening.
I have updated the XCode to Version 10.1 (10B61)
And the iOS on my iPhone and Simulator is v12.1
My app has a TabController with 5 tabs.
First: Posts
Fifth: Profile Posts
These are embedded into a navigation controller (In case someone
clicks on the comments button)
So. I've noticed that if I run my app and I click the comments, it pushes that vc in a weird way to the screen, then clicking back just "bumps" back. Also slide back isn't working.
However, if I switch tabs first then everything works fine.
VIDEO:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgS3j21L8Js
As you see in the video everything is fine after switching to Profile Posts + back .
UPDATE 1:
So if I start my app, switch to another Tab, then back to the original, it works fine.
Requested code:
func commentsButtonTapped(sender: UIButton) {
let touchPoint:CGPoint = sender.convert(CGPoint.zero, to:self.tableView)
if let indexPath = tableView.indexPathForRow(at: touchPoint) {
openDetails(indexPath: indexPath, shouldShowKeyboard: false)
}
}
func openDetails(indexPath: IndexPath, shouldShowKeyboard : Bool) {
if (self.tableView.cellForRow(at: indexPath) as? WorldMessageCell) != nil {
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Additional", bundle: nil)
let vc = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "DetailsViewController") as! DetailsViewController
vc.postId = PostIds.shared.nearby.ids[safe: indexPath.row]
vc.shouldShowKeyboard = shouldShowKeyboard
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(vc, animated: true)
}
}
UPDATE 2:
Solved the problem by forcing the TabController to switch between tabs..
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
self.selectedIndex = 1
self.selectedIndex = 0
}
But that's not how it should work..
UPDATE 3:
I have tested it, if I make the navigation controller->vc the initial vc (so no tab controller) everything works fine.
But as soon as the navigationcontroller is nested inside the tab, it happens.
I made a new project to test if this is a version specific bug but no, everything works fine there. So the issue must be with my app.
What could generate issue like that (in the video)?
Ohh.. I have found the problem & bug:
So if you have navigation controllers nested into a tab controller that calls it's viewDidLoad() function, then the navigation controller will have problems.
The code I had to remove totally:
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
// here i had some code ... /
}
Now everything works..
I have two test controllers: TestController1 and TestController2. I'm trying to deinit first controller when second controller loaded or appeared by changing UIApplication.shared.window[0].rootViewController to self (TestController2). But nothing is going on and I also have two controllers in memory. So, my question is: how can I deinit all ViewControllers and keeps in memory only one?
All my test controllers have deinit method and I'm trying to print "deinited" when it's executed, so i don't have any problems with break points like in many questions asked here.
This is my TestController2's code:
class TestController2: UIViewController {
deinit {
print("testController 2 deinited")
}
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
//first attempt
let del = UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate
del.window?.rootViewController = self
//second attempt
UIApplication.shared.windows[0].rootViewController = self
//third attempt
UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController = self
}
}
All my attempts don't work..
Updated: First and second controllers have only one button. No any business logic. I created a segue by ctrl+drag mode on Storyboard from button at controller 1 to controller 2.
I am using a few view controllers for my app. I switch view controllers programmatically by using this code:
func jumpToVC() {
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
[unowned self] in
self.performSegueWithIdentifier("whatVC", sender: self)
}
}
This works but the VC stays in the memory, it won't completely removes itself out of the memory. Adding this line of code did not help me out:
dismissViewControllerAnimated(false, completion: nil)
So how can I remove a view controller completely out of his memory?
I am trying to program a little game just to apply the concepts I learned in this course myself. When the game opens up, I would like for a custom modal view to tell the user how to play. Likewise, when they lose, I want to present a results page, which would be inside an if statement. I've searched all over the internet, and I can't find a way to display these views without an error. All that this video shows is how to show a display a view when a button is pressed; how do I display a custom modal view on command in code? (I am very new to Swift, so try to put it in layman's terms.) Thanks!
import UIKit
var numberValue = 0
let randomInt = getRandomNumber()
class ViewController: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var buttonLabel: UILabel!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let vc = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("HowToPlayView") as! HowToPlay
self.presentViewController(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
#IBAction func buttonPressed() {
numberValue += 1
updateButtonValue(buttonLabel)
}
}
#IBAction func buttonPressed() {
numberValue += 1
updateButtonValue(buttonLabel)
}
}
That's my view controller. Getting error: Thread 1: EXC_BAD_ACCESS
My view in interface and connections

Ok, let's try a different approach to solve this issue. Above your ViewController you should see three different buttons like this:
Click on the first button and Ctrl + Drag to the view that you want to display and choose display modally. After that is done you should see this arrow appear:
This is called the segue from the first view to the second view and you can call this in your code to transition from one view to the next, but first we have to give our segue an identifier. You can do this by clicking on the arrow and a window should come up like this:
As you can see you will have to fill out the identifier field, and in my case I just named it "myAwesomeSegue".
Lastly, in the first ViewController run this code when you need to present the next view controller:
performSegueWithIdentifier("myAwesomeSegue", sender: nil)
Please note that if you use this method just delete the previous code you had before as this is a brand new approach (so basically delete this code):
let vc = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("HowToPlayView") as! HowToPlay
self.presentViewController(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)
Final code for the firstViewController:
i have an issue. I would like to change the view controller in swift.
This is a part of my code:
if success == "1" {
NSLog("Login SUCCESS");
var prefs:NSUserDefaults = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults()
prefs.setObject(mobile, forKey: "USERNAME")
prefs.setInteger(1, forKey: "ISLOGGEDIN")
prefs.synchronize()
self.presentViewController(OtpVC(), animated: true, completion: nil)
}
my OtpVC file is:
class OtpVC: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var smsfield: UITextField!
#IBAction func continueButton(sender: AnyObject) {
}
}
The problem now is that when is login successful the page change and goes all black!
How i can fix that? Thanks in advance.
The page in blank is an indicator of that your view has not being loaded. And it seems like that's the case:
Please take a closer look, you are creating an instance of that class, but you are not instantiating the view of it.
In swift you can have single classes affecting several views in your
storyboards.
The correct way, should be:
if success == "1" {
NSLog("Login SUCCESS");
var prefs:NSUserDefaults = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults()
prefs.setObject(mobile, forKey: "USERNAME")
prefs.setInteger(1, forKey: "ISLOGGEDIN")
prefs.synchronize()
var storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
"Main" here should be the name of the storyboard in which the OtpVC view is.
var controller = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("OtpVC") as! OtpVC
"OtpVC" here should be the storyboard identifier of your view
self.presentViewController(controller, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
Update:
Another root cause may be that your identifier is not well set at storyboard.
At your Identity Inspector settings should be similar to:
Here in Module, like I have no such Class on my targets it says None.
This could be something you may want to have a look at. Maybe in your storyboard you are referencing other target than the one with such OptVC class implementation.
You can also use segues.
Set a segue from one view controller to the one where you want to shift in the storyboard.
Also set the identifier of the segue in storyboard.
Now use below code
self.performSegueWithIdentifier("identifier", sender: self)
self.presentViewController(OtpVC(), animated: true, completion: nil)
With the line above, you'll create a new instance of OtpVC programmatically. It's not a problem if that's what you want and the view controller is coded properly to be initialized like that.
But because it's all black I assume you've created OtpVC in storyboard so you'll either need to use a segue like Sukhdeep Singh Kalra has suggested or instantiate it with:
let destination = storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("identifier") as! OtpVC
presentViewController(destination, animated: true, completion: nil)
Both options, you'll have to set an identifier.
To set an identifier for the latter, go to storyboard and click on your view controller. Make sure the view controller is selected by clicking the left yellow button on top of your view controller. Then in identity inspector, type in the identifier name and replace "identifier" in my example with that name.
