I keep getting the following errors:

2011-04-02 14:55:23.729 AppName[42430:207] Finishing up a navigation transition in an unexpected state. Navigation Bar subview tree might get corrupted.
Here is what I am doing. From a view controller, I call the following when a certain button is pushed:
EventsViewController *viewController = [[EventsViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewController];
navController.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor blackColor];
[self presentModalViewController:navController animated:YES];
[viewController release];
[navController release];
Then, if a certain button is pushed in EventsController, I call:
SingleEventViewController *viewController = [[SingleEventViewController alloc] initWithEvent:[currentEvents objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:viewController animated:YES];
[viewController release];
Then, if a certain button is pushed in SingleEventViewController, I call:
EventMapView* viewController = [[EventMapView alloc] initWithCoordinates];
[[self navigationController] pushViewController:viewController animated:YES];
[viewController release];
So yea, it's obvious that there's nested push animations, but isn't this the right way to go about it? I checked out Apple's DrillDownSave code and this appears to be how they're doing it. Does it matter that I use init methods instead of viewDidLoad methods?
Calling pushViewController before viewDidAppear is unsafe.
ACCIDENTLY TRIGGERING THE SAME SEGUE TWICE
Once in code, and once from interface builder, but both at the same time...
I was getting the same error as the rest of you. Only my problem was I was accidentally firing the same segue, twice. Once from interface builder, and once from within my code.
I have a UITableView. When a cell is selected, a segue in interface builder fires. Heres my problem, I had the segue set up to be directly fired off clicking the CELL ITSELf, inside interface builder, then in my code, I had under didSelectRowAtIndexPath, code that would fire that same segue... like so...
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"MySegue" sender:tableView];
That means when didSelectRowAtIndexPath gets called because a row was selected, it fires the segue with the above line of code. Then interface builder, also triggers the segue, because its connected directly to the cell object in interface builder. To stop interface builder from directly firing the segue. You have to connect the segue from the top of the view controller, not nested down inside coming off of the cell itself.
So if you are having this problem for the same reason as me, that is, you are calling the same segue twice, you can fix this by unlinking the connection from the CELL DIRECTLY, to your segue, and having the segue connection originate at the top of the table hierarchy in IB, rather than nested inside the cell. Connect the segue from you View Controller itself, to the segue. If you have done this correct, when you select the segue, it should highlight the ENTIRE view it is coming from, not just the cell.
Now Apples documentation states thus under the performSegueWithIdentifier:sender: reference:
Apps normally do not need to trigger segues directly. Instead, you configure an object in Interface Builder associated with the view controller, such as a control embedded in its view hierarchy, to trigger the segue. However, you can call this method to trigger a segue programmatically, perhaps in response to some action that cannot be specified in the storyboard resource file. For example, you might call it from a custom action handler used to process shake or accelerometer events.
In my case, I have a search button for my UITableView, and whether the segue is called when the search results table is present, or the normal table view is present, had to be determined. So I needed to trigger the segue directly.
So remove the embedded control from interface builder, and just stick it on the view controller itself, then trigger the segue in your code!
Now, no more double segues! And no more errors.
I had the same problem / error message as you did just now, was looking for a solution and ended up at this thread, however, for me I found that the solution is actually having only one animated:YES when doing a nested push (I put animated:YES only for the final push), hope this helps
cheers.
I've figured it out. Apparently if you call -pushViewController from outside of the -didSelectRowAtIndexPath method of a UITableViewDelegate, it doesn't work. Moving the call into that function worked. Weird.
I happened upon this same problem that resulted from a button in a nib being connected to two different actions. It tried loading both view controllers, thereby corrupting the stack.
What do you mean when you say you use init methods instead of viewDidLoad methods?
If you're pushing a new view controller before the old push has bad a chance to be actioned, you will get this sort of error. So putting certain code into init and doing things prematurely could certainly get you the error being reported.
At the point where init is being run on a view controller, the view hasn't been loaded yet!
Um I had this issue, and Im new to the whole iOS dev scene. But after looking at my connections inspector (with file's owner) in the interface builder i saw that as I had copied a button it had the previous buttons method assigned to it as well as the new method I had created. I guess that was where the nested aspect of my problem came from, as it was executing 2 different methods both of which pushed a view onto the Nav Controller. I know this has already been answered but I figured I would put this up just in case anyone else had a silly mistake like mine.
This has already been answered, but I thought this might help others as I got the same error but without using table views. I finally figured out the problem.
I had an existing button whose IBAction invoked a pushViewController. I had created a new button by copying the existing button. The new button also had an action that invoked pushViewController. When the new button was tapped (touch up inside) and the view controller was pushed, I got this error. I deleted the new button, created it from scratch, bound it to the existing outlets and actions, and the error went away.
Ran into the same problem. In my case I was missing a break in the switch statement so two segues were fired at the same time. Easy fix for me.
My problem had to do with the keyboard being active.
This was caused for me by pushing a ViewController from a textField's delegate method:
-(void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField{
FilterLocationViewController *destViewController = (FilterLocationViewController *)[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"FilterLocationViewController"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:destViewController animated:YES];
}
By changing the code to this:
-(void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField{
[_textFieldLocation resignFirstResponder]; //adding this line
FilterLocationViewController *destViewController = (FilterLocationViewController *)[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"FilterLocationViewController"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:destViewController animated:YES];
}
(adding the line [textField resignFirstResponder];) the problem went away.
Basically the lesson is that you shouldn't modify the navigationController stack if the keyboard is out.
Recently, I've faced the same problem. The reason was: -I was trying to pop view controller twice by mistake. you can check this crash by setting breakpoints on push and pop View controllers
1) Perhaps you could try passing the necessary variables as properties before pushing the UIViewController rather than using the init methods with parameters. Most likely you will need these parameters beyond your init method anyway.
Also, in your initWithCoordinates: method you are missing the parameters. Possibly your custom init methods are a part of the problem.
2) Just because you mentioned viewDidLoad -- this method is for initialization after a view has loaded . If you create the UIViewController in code, as it seems you do, you should use loadView to set up your subviews.
This was happening for me because of my UIControlEvents
[button addTarget:self action:#selector(callSecondView) forControlEvents:UIControlEventAllTouchEvents];
I had to change the UIControlEventAllTouchEvents to UIControlEventTouchUpInside or however you want your button to work if you had the issue because of a UIButton call.
My Solution was
[self performSelector:#selector(moveTo) withObject:nil
afterDelay:0.5];
Don't know about other's. I think most of the People using StoryBoard is facing such Problem. I am using XIB.
In my case The Problem Was, when I was moving to another view using push,
I was also using
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
in the ViewWillDisappear of the current View at the same time. Just remove it and it works fine.
I was using POP, because of the requirement and the Flow.
The Hierarchy was 1 -> 2 ->3
I was on view 2 and wanted to move to view 3. In that case I encountered this error.
In my case I was both setting the push segue from the storyboard and programatically. Hopefully that'll help anyone
I had this error message too, and the navigation bar and navigation controller transitions were weird. My setup was a bunch of Navigation Controllers embedded in a Tab bar Controller. The problem was that I didn't call super.viewDidLoad() in my Tab bar Controller implementation of viewDidLoad.
Calling super is something the docs clearly point out that you should do when overriding viewDidLoad, and I learned this the hard way.
Maybe this can help someone else too!
I know that this was answered, but it could help others.
I had the same problem, but it was caused because I was using a bad event for an info button.
I was using "UIControlEventAllTouchEvents" and this generated two push of the same view into the navigation controller. The correct event was "UIControlEventTouchUpInside". I'm new to iOS.
This resolves the problem:
https://github.com/nexuspod/SafeTransition
If you push (or pop) a view controller with animation(animated:YES) it doesn't complete right away, and bad things happen if you do another push or pop before the animation completes.
To reproduce this bug, try pushing or popping two view controllers at the same time. Example:
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
UIViewController *vc = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:vc animated:YES];
}
You will receive this error:
2014-07-03 11:54:25.051 Demo[2840:60b] nested push animation can
result in corrupted navigation bar 2014-07-03 11:54:25.406
Demo[2840:60b] Finishing up a navigation transition in an unexpected
state. Navigation Bar subview tree might get corrupted.
Just add the code files into your project and makes your navigation controller as a subclass of APBaseNavigationController, and you'll be good to do.
Just to complete the list, here is another reason which can cause "nested push animation can result in corrupted navigation bar":
I did setup several NavigationController within a TabBarController and set
the selectedIndex within the storyboard Identifiy Properties. After moving active Tab to Code error disappeared.
I have a situation where I want to open one modal controller from the other. But when the user closes either, they should go back to the parent controller of both modal controllers.
So I have the parent controller in charge of this. The method on the parent does something similar to the code below when the user clicks a button on the first modal controller.
[self.navigationController dismissModalViewController:YES];
SecondModalViewController *c = [[SecondModalViewController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController presentModalViewController:c animated:YES];
[c release];
The only thing that happens is the first view closes, but I don't see the second view open. Is it possible to close a modal ViewController and open a second one in the same method? If so, how?
i think that by the time you close the first view controller, the [self.navigation presentmodal..] dosen't have a self to open the new one from.
you could do that:
use a boolean variable to state whether the next time this controller appears (when you close the one you're currently trying to open), it should close, and implements that feature in the viewDidApper: method, like so:
#interface FirstViewController : UIViewController
{
//...
BOOL close;
}
and in the .m file,
-(void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated{
if(close)
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:NO];
else
[super viewDidAppear:animated];
}
now, to open your new controller, do that:
-(IBAction)openSecondController:(id)sender{
//..
SecondViewController* controller = [[SecondViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"SecondViewController" bundle:nil];
close = YES;
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:NO];
}
now, when you close the second one, the first one will close also. doesn't have any visible side affects in my apps..
not the cleanest way, but i didn't find a better one.
cheers
I do that same thing all the time without a problem, though mine have animated:NO... I'm guessing your issue is because you have animated:YES on both. What effect are you looking for exactly? Do you want to see one get animated away, and then the other get animated in? If so, you need to execute the presentModalViewController with a delay.
Otherwise, you should just be able to present the second modal view controller without closing the first one at all. When you call dismissModalViewController; it should dismiss both.
I'm finding exactly the same response. It looks like standard behaviour.
The way I got around it is to use performSelector:withObject:afterDelay:
[self performSelector:#selector(presentController:) withObject:navController afterDelay:0.5f];
The only drawback was I had to set a presentController function which then did the presentModalViewController:animated:
I tried to use a NSInvocation but I kept on getting a bad access error when I tried to pass a BOOL for the animated argument.
The main thing is it works and my client is happy.
You can use handle uiviewcontroller closed and open another with using Unwind Segues.

This piece of code works fine. However, if I change the animated parameter to YES it crashes.
AccountViewController *accViewController = [[AccountViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"Account" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:accViewController animated:NO];
[accViewController release];
What could be wrong?
Are you doing this while any other animation is going on? I've seen crashes here in that type of situation (for example, while one view is being dismissed, pushing or presenting another will crash.)
Try dropping the release call. Although I would assume that push should retain, I can't recall for sure and i am not sure when it retains.
I load view controllers all the time in the following format:
-(void)loadSelectUser {
MyViewController *nextController = [[MyViewController alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStyleGrouped];
MyAppDelegate *delegate = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
[delegate.navigationController pushViewController:nextController animated:YES];
[nextController release];
}
And I've never had an issue with that. But right now I'm dealing with the issue that the next view doesn't load completely. The navigation bar shows up and the viewDidLoad and the numberOfSectionsInTableView methods are both called. That is it. The table doesn't show up, it still shows the previous view.
I imagine this means there is a memory leak or something not connected properly. Is this the right path to be looking? If so, what is your best suggestion for debugging this issue. My code has no error messages so I'm not sure where to start. I load the view properly in a different controller, but for some reason it doesn't do it after this particular view*.
*This view happens to do a lot data manipulation with downloading objects, saving them and such. But again, it looks like it is all working properly. What would mess up the navigation controller loading the next view completely?
Oh, and just to mess things up more, some times, it works properly. But I run it one more time and it doesn't do it again.
Update: TechZen comment about the proper way to push a new view controller seemed to help a little. There is a higher rate of it working, unless I am pushing a tableviewcontroller. Depending on the action my view will push a UITableViewController or a UIViewController with a nib file. The second usually (not always) works.
Also, in a different view I am adding a modal view. But when I try to dismiss it using [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES]; it doesn't always work. Again it's hit or miss on it. Anyone have an idea of what would be causing the transition of windows to be finicky?
Calling the app delegate to get the navigation controller is unnecessary and risky. Any view controller on a navigation controller stack has a populated navigationController property so you can just use self.navigationController.
It's risky to call the app delegate's navigation controller because you have no guarantee that you will get the same navigation controller as the one that currently holds the view controller calling the push. You could in theory end up with two overlapping and conflict navigation controllers.
Switch the code to self.navigationController and see if that fixes the problem.
I wrote simple code to test UIImagePickerController:
#implementation ProfileEditViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
photoTaker_ = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
photoTaker_.delegate = self;
photoTaker_.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
photoTaker_.showsCameraControls = NO;
}
- (void)viewDidAppear: (BOOL)animated {
[self presentModalViewController: photoTaker_ animated: NO];
}
#end
And I'm getting strange warnings like the following:
2010-05-20 17:53:13.838 TestProj[2814:307] Using two-stage rotation animation. To use the smoother single-stage animation, this application must remove two-stage method implementations.
2010-05-20 17:53:13.849 TestProj[2814:307] Using two-stage rotation animation is not supported when rotating more than one view controller or view controllers not the window delegate
Got any idea what this is about? Thanks a lot in advance!
This message will appear if you are presenting the UIImagePickerController within another UIViewController. Because it isn't pushed like a UINavigationController stack, there is confusion at the UIWindow level. I don't know if the warning is a problem, but to eliminate the warning you can do the following:
// self = a UIViewController
//
- (void) showCamera
{
cameraView = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
[[[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow] setRootViewController:cameraView];
[self presentModalViewController:cameraView animated:NO];
}
- (void) removeCamera
{
[[[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow] setRootViewController:self];
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:NO];
[cameraView release];
}
Perhaps you are adding the root UIViewController's view as a subview of the window instead of assigning the view controller to the window's rootController property?
IT ALL FALLS BACK ON THE UI
This warning can be implemented for several different objects: Pickers, keyboard, etc.
I have found that it is related to the UI taking two steps to complete a transition or other animation. Or for any instance where the UI is trying to finish one thing and is being asked to execute another before it has finished. (therefore it covers a wide range of possible triggers)
I have seen the warning appear on 4.0 & 4.2. In my case I was working with rotating the device and catching whether the keyboard was still up-(i.e. text field was still first responder). If so, the keyboard needed to stay up for between the views, but this presented other complications with other views.
Therefore, I implemented a BOOL tracker to keep track if keybaordIsPresent, and if so I was {textfield resignFirstResponder]; when detecting the orientation change and the reset the textfield to becomeFristResponder after the transition that was wrapped in an Animation Block. My BOOL tracker worked better, I still use the NSNotifications for the Keyboard, but there were overlaps of notifications during rotations because the keyboard was being dismissed without requesting such. The BOOL is set to NO on Load, and when the [textfield resignFirstResponder]; is implemented. *not when "-(void)keyboardWillhide is trigger by the NSNotifications, which gives me both working triggers that never conflict. The BOOL is set to YES, only when the user touches textfield which automatically triggers becomeFirstResponder.
I removed the warning by taking the [textfild resignFirstResponder]; out of the
-(void)willAnimateFirstHalfOfRotationToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration {
//if (keyboardIsPresent == YES) {[self.entryTextField resignFirstResponder];}
}
and placing it back at the top of the code for the:
- (void)didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)fromInterfaceOrientation {
if (keyboardIsPresent == YES) {
[self.entryTextField resignFirstResponder];
}
//Determine Which Orientation is Present:
if((fromInterfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait) || (fromInterfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown)){
//LANDSCAPE VIEW:
[self configureLandscapeView];
}else {
//PORTRAIT VIEW:
[self configurePortraitView];
}
}
**Even though I had no code inside the -(void)willAnimatFirstHalfOfRotationToInterface:, the warning was still popping up. I think the warning was still popping up because the compiler still has to attempt the method while it is trying to execute the first animation and therefore gets the double animation call or overlap of resources. It doesn't know that there is no executable code with the method until after it runs through it. And by that time it already set aside resource in preparation for handling possible actions within the method.
**To ellimiate the warning I had to remove or nil out the code for the willAnimateFirstHalfOfRotation, so that the compiler does not have to even check to see if there is a possible 2nd animation or action that may need to be executed at the same time.
/*-(void)willAnimateFirstHalfOfRotationToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration {
//if (keyboardIsPresent == YES) {[self.entryTextField resignFirstResponder];}}*/
After the transition is completed, within the original animation block I check to see if the "keyboardIsPresent" was YES prior to the rotation, and if so, I resign the First Responder once again. I use setAnimationDuration:0.3which comes out pretty clean and not jumpy.
Well, you are presenting UIImagePickerController modally inside viewDidAppear of ProfileEditViewController.
Think about this. That means when ProfileEditViewController view appears, the UIImagePickerController appears, say later you dismiss UIImagePickerController and it goes back to ProfileEditViewController, then viewDidAppear is called again and UIImagePickerController appears, say later you dismiss UIImagePickerController and it goes back to ProfileEditViewController, then viewDidAppear is called again and.... you get the idea.
That warning is rather cryptic though, not sure if that is what it's trying to tell you. I would suggest making a button somewhere on the ProfileEditViewController that calls presentModalViewController and also make sure you have a way to dismiss the UIImagePickerController (I've never used it not sure if it has one automatically).
You may be trying to present two modal view controllers at the same time, and they are fighting for animation resources.
1) There is rarely any UI reason to do this. You could instead just go directly to the second view controller (the image picker); and, after dismissing it, then present the first view or view controller.
2) If you do want two stacked view controllers or a view controller on top of a view, then set a timer in viewDidAppear to present the second view controller after the first one has finished it's animation. (You could display a dummy png image of a blank picker in the first one to prevent too much display flashing until the second view controller goes live.)
EDIT - Added a random code example:
I might try substituting this as an experiment:
- (void)foo {
[self presentModalViewController: photoTaker_ animated: NO];
}
- (void)viewDidAppear: (BOOL)animated {
NSTimer *bar = [ NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval: (2.0f)
target: self
selector: #selector(foo)
userInfo: nil
repeats:NO ];
}
A shorter time delay may work as well.
I just had the same problem. In my case was a silly mistake that I'm putting here just in case anyone else falls into that same issue.
In my tabbed app I remove one of the original ViewControllers and added a new one with Storyboard to create a "Settings" section.
This new VC had to be a table view VC and even I designed, compiled and run it without a problem, when I changed the orientation of the app I kept getting this “Using two-stage rotation animation” error.
My problem was that I forgot to change in the original .h file interface "UIViewController" for "UITableViewController".
Once this was done I changed on the Storyboard identity badge the class from the general value to my SettingsViewController and that was the end of it.
I hope it can help someone else. It took me a while to get to bottom of this.
Cheers,
I think the warning here is about Core Animation performance. As a test, I loaded the image picker without any action sheet or other animations going on and the warnings are still there. I think these are warnings coming from the image picker class itself and not from any misuse of the API.
