I'm new to iOS development and I'm feeling kind of lost here.
I'm working on an app idea where I have login/sign up (using Parse) embedded in Navigation controller and then once the user has logged in I want to integrate tab controller as the app interface should be tabbed.
But for some reason it doesn't work properly.
Here's what my storyboard look like:
The problem is that once I login and it redirects me to the Tab controller I see this:
I have NO idea why. Any ideas?
EDIT: Added original images to message
UPDATE: I believe I've screwed up the project somehow. In the very beginning. I've recreated everything from scratch, Added Navigation controllers and now the problem is gone and it everything loads the way it should be!
Your Segue between SignIn controller and TabBar controller must be "Present Modally"
And then if you want use navigation controller after TabBar controller, you must add new navigation controller between your tabs and TabBarController!
If you want to have there tabs with NavigationController, you must add three Navigation Controller...
this is quick Demo for you! Download here!

I am trying to create a segue from a button to a navigation controller that a master view controller is embedded in (I used the "Your Second iOS App" tutorial by Apple Developer). The problem was that whenever I clicked the button, I would get a totally black screen with just a navigation bar. There isn't any code involved. Would anyone happen to know how I could fix this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Actually, I figured it out. It was because the split view controller was also pointing to the master view controller, so it had 2 segues pointing to it.
I am new to this and really struggling, I have searched on here but the answers to this question don't seem to work with what I am trying
the user selects the store name (button) to present modally a new view controller. but then the tab bar controller disappears, and I cannot get it back. Is there a way to add new view controllers that will always have my tab bar controller? i.e. new "tabs", that will only be displayed if the user decides to push the button regarding that tab. I am using Xcode 6.1 with storyboards
I don't know if I got it right, but if you want to show a new View Controller and you want to keep showing the tabs you have you should use a NavigationController inside your TabBarController and then do a push, not present modally;
Your storyboard should look like this:

Hope it helps!
I was trying to push an interface after clicking at one button of my two pages consisting rootController and got a weird result.
My requested controller (second image) gets pushed over my first page..but, the second page of my root controller is still there and I can segue into it.
I don't want this.
How can I dismiss all other pages of my several pages controller after pushing a new interface over it?.
Modal is not an option as I want to go deeper after pushing this controller.
WatchKit does not support pushing an interface controller in a page-based navigation layout. As of Xcode beta 4, I understand that you won't see this strange behaviour as the interface simply will not be presented.
I'm very new in iOS dev (but have more then 10 years overall experience with other platforms so it should help). Now I have to create relatively complex iOS application and do it very fast :).
I created application based on 'Tabbed Application' template using storyboard. Then I added login view that uses JSON to communicate with web application. I made this view initial (first that user sees) by moving appropriate arrow from default tab bar controller to my 'login view controller'.
On the login view I have text fields and login button. By clicking button application verifies user's name and password and then navigate him to default tab bar controller (created by Xcode). I do it with this code:
WPFirstViewController *fvc = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier: #"TabBars"];
[fvc setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical];
[self presentViewController:fvc animated:YES completion:nil];
Everything works fine, but I'm confused than I didn't use graphics lines between views on storyboard and I'm not sure that my approach is correct.
So, questions is how should I navigate user from the login view to tab bar controller? What is the best way in my case? And also, how for example should I navigate user from one of the tab view controller pages page (for example, by clicking button 'Settings') to corresponding view and then back? Maybe somebody could share a link to some good article.
Sorry for the long text. Thank you in advance for your help!
Modal view controllers are supposed to be used for cases where you need to get some critical information from the user (or present some to the user), without which you can't continue with the app. A log in controller would be a good choice for a modal view controller, but your main controller, your tab bar controller isn't. It would be better to present the login controller modally from the controller in the first tab of your tab bar controller. If you do this from viewDidAppear, and with no animation, it will be the first thing the user sees. When the user successfully logs in, just dismiss that controller, and you'll be ready to go in your first tab.
I'm not sure what you mean by your second question. The user navigates between the tabs by clicking on a tab -- you don't need to do anything in code for that.
I would advise you not to use storyBoards. Also, if you are planning to have a navigation controller on your app, then you will definitely use the feature of pushing view controllers on a self.navigationViewController of your view controller. It's easy to use, really easy!!
Typically, login view controllers should be modally presented with: presentModalViewController:animated:
In regards to your UITabBarController, each tab can be a UINavigationController, which will enable you to maintain a stack of UIViewControllers.
All the remains is determining whether the view controller you want to present is modal, or part of said stack.
Ive set up my new iOS app using storyboard with a tab controller with navigation views coming from it this works fine in storyboard as you can obviously create navigation controllers where you can provide the tab icon/text. What I want however is to have a couple of tabs which will launch modal actions (settings, add new record etc). If I try and connect a couple of views as model you don't get the tabs so I clearly missing something. I've looked at maybe subclassing the navigation controller but apparently that is frowned upon. Any suggestions appreciated.
