Navigation controller is always nil
ios, uinavigationcontroller, uistoryboard, uiviewcontroller
Solution
Yes, it is nil. `UIViewController.navigationController` property will only be set if the `ViewController` is pushed, not presented. A not-so-elegant solution is that you make a global reference(like put the reference in a singleton) to the `NavigationController` before you present it, then you can read it from inside your `UIViewController`.
Problem
I am presenting `UIViewController` like: ``` UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil]; PhotoViewController *resultVC = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:NSStringFromClass([PhotoViewController class])]; [self.navigationController presentViewController:resultVC animated:YES completion:^{}]; ``` I have logged console and result is: ``` po self.navigationController <UINavigationController: 0x9c3e920> ``` But when i am in `PhotoViewController` class i have logged console and result is : ``` po self.navigationController nil ``` its nil here. i don't know why this happens. Also i have present with this one but its nil always : ``` [self presentViewController:resultVC animated:YES completion:^{}]; ```
