Attempting to segue from Objective-C to Swift VC - ios

Question

i'm trying to segue from objective-c to swift.
However when I try this using the object below I receive the following error
I don't know what i'm doing wrong, i've setup the segue on the storyboard and assigned it to the same ID, created the prepare function and the perform.
- (void)renderer:(id<SCNSceneRenderer>)renderer willRenderScene:(SCNScene *)scene atTime:(NSTimeInterval)time {
// Look for trackables, and draw on each found one.
size_t trackableCount = trackableIds.size();
for (size_t i = 0; i < trackableCount; i++) {
// NSLog(#"this is the variable value: %d", trackableIds[i]);
// Find the trackable for the given trackable ID.
ARTrackable *trackable = arController->findTrackable(trackableIds[i]);
// SCNCamera *camera = self.cameraNode.camera;
SCNNode *trackableNode = self.trackableNodes[i];
if (trackable->visible) {
if (trackableIds[i] == 0) {
NSLog(#"Starbucks");
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"brandSegue" sender:self];
} else if (trackableIds[i] == 1) {
NSLog(#"Dortios");
}
} else {
trackableNode.opacity = 0;
}
}
}
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender {
if ([segue.identifier isEqualToString:#"brandSegue"]) {
JSONViewController *destViewController = segue.destinationViewController;
}
}

After discussion in Chat and fixing various issues, I'll take them one by one:
> *** Assertion failure in -[UIApplication _cachedSystemAnimationFenceCreatingIfNecessary:], /BuildRoot/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/UIKit/UIKit-3698.21.8/UIApplication.m:1707

That's the first issue causing a crash. This is talking about an internal method of CocoaTouch needed to be called in main thread.
The issue lies on your performSegueWithIdentifier:sender:. All UI related calls have to be done in main thread.
To fix it:
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^(){
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"brandSegue" sender:self];
});
Fixing this revealed a second issue:
it segues but it trigger twice, do you know why this may happen?
You are doing this:
for (size_t i = 0; i < trackableCount; i++)
{
if (somethingTest)
{
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"brandSegue" sender:self];
}
}
Who said that in your for loop you don't valid multiple times somethingTest?
To fix it (I'm talking about the logic, I didn't do the dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(){()} part to avoid adding noise to the algorithm).
//Declare a var before the for loop
BOOL seguedNeedsToBeDone = FALSE;
for (size_t i = 0; i < trackableCount; i++)
{
if (somethingTest)
{
seguedNeedsToBeDone = TRUE;
}
}
//Perform the segue after the for loop if needed
if (seguedNeedsToBeDone)
{
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"brandSegue" sender:self];
}
Next issue, passing data to the Destination ViewController:
JSONViewController *destViewController = segue.destinationViewController;
destViewController.brand = #"something";
You are mixing Swift & Objective-C, since XCode was complaining about not knowing brand being a property of JSONViewController object, you needed to add #objc before the declaration of the var. More detailed answer can be found here.
Finally, a tip to pass the data of you for loop is using the sender (it's faster in term of coding than creating another var, etc.):
//Calling the performSegue with custom value to pass
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"brandSegue" sender:someVarToSend];
//Passing the custom value
destViewController.brand = someVarToSend;

I guess the more safe way is to use navigationController?.pushViewController(_:animated:), instead of using segues.
