NSGenericException', reason: 'Push segues can only be used when the source controller is managed by an instance of UINavigationController

Question

so I'm making an app with 5 view controllers, the first is embedded in a UINavigationController and the segue between the first 4 view controllers works fine. However introducing a 5th View Controller has broken this, and I'm getting the error

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSGenericException', reason: 'Push segues can only be used when the source controller is managed by an instance of UINavigationController.'

I havent done anything differently with this 5th view controller, its just a standard ViewController with an image view and a label, and all of my segues are called by ctrl dragging buttons in the storyboard. Does anybody have any idea whats causing this?

Thanks

Solution 1

add Navigation Controller to your initial view

1. Select the initial view
2. Go To Editor--> Embed In --> Navigation Controller.

Solution 2

In my case at the time the original VC performed the segue, the Navigation Controller was transitioning and already changed he visible VC.

I solved it by doing:

if (self.navigationController.visibleViewController == self) {
    [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"thankyou" sender:self];
}

no more crash. :)

Solution 3

Set UINavigationcontroller as Initial View controller (Initial Scene) in StoryBoard.

Solution 4

This is most likely because your push segue from the button or whatever is pointing to a view controller not the navigation view controller your view controller inherits. So, you have to point the segue to the navigation controller.

Hope this helps.

Solution 5

in my particular case, the place to call into a subset of views that required a push was only from code and was not connectable via IB. The original project to create the subset of views was started with a dedicated button and thus was IB'able.

No segue was configurable, and thus any push resulted in this error.

My solution was simple: [self showViewController:targetViewController sender:self];
