Programmatically call navigation controller back button on iOS

button, ios, objective-c, uinavigationcontroller

Solution

`UINavigationController`'s `-popViewControllerAnimated:` method should do what you want:

[navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];

Problem

In a UINavigationController-based iPhone app, in a method I would like to perform the programmatic equivalent of the back button being pressed and going back a view. i.e. automatically press the Jobs button as seen here: Is there a generic iOS call I can make, or is more information required?
