iOS: Switch view controller behind current modal view controller?

votes

When I launch my app I'm presented with the root view controller (currently just a picture) which then pops up a modal view controller for the walk through. Once the user finishes the walk through, I want to dismiss the modal view controller and have the user be instantly presented with the main view controller for the app (rather than the root).

My issue is I can't figure out how to go about doing this. Currently all I can do is dismiss the modal back to the root, then switch the root view controller to the main one. This makes for a very ugly transition.

//WalkthroughViewController.m
-(void)completeWalkthrough:(UIButton *)sender {
   // What can I do here to switch the RootViewController
   // to display MainViewController ?
   [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Not sure if this would work, (it's late here) but I would possibly look into making the root view controller a delegate of the modal view.

Rather than dismissing the modal as you are doing now, pressing the 'completeWalThrough' button would call a delegate method. You could simultaneously dismiss the modal view and then push the main view controller from root View controller.

You could possibly achieve this with an Unwind Segue as well. In the Unwind Segue method of your Rootviewcontroller, present the Mainviewcontroller without delay.
