viewWillAppear, viewDidAppear and viewWillDisappear not being called on iOS 5 when using setViewControllers

I'm setting a ViewController using the following code: [detailNav setViewControllers:[NSArray arrayWithObject:vc] animated:NO];

When the ViewController is set in iOS 6 and 7, viewWillAppear, viewDidAppear and viewWillDisappear is called.

However, in iOS 5, these methods are not called.

Edit: pushViewController does not work either: viewWillDisappear and viewDidDisappear never get called

did you make certain to set the delegate of those view controllers you are adding? – Michael Dautermann
Post some more code. I am rather certain UINavigationController does call these methods. – Léo Natan

Turns out somewhere in the ViewControllers hierarchy, automaticallyForwardAppearanceAndRotationMethodsToChildViewControllers was returning NO.

Returning YES fixed the issue.

Shot in the dark but make sure each has the super call example in the viewdidload method it would have this first

[super viewDidLoad];
