Reuse Director for new scene - ios

Question

I am currently working on an Cocos2d-x, which uses native UI (UIKit Framework) besides the Game.
This is my actual workflow:
When I start the game every things works well. I can even restart the game by reinitializing the scene, but I can't pop the UIViewController with my CCEAGLView and push it again on the top.
When I do this I get a scene without any movement.
Here's my opens the scene:
if (cocos2d::Director::getInstance()->getRunningScene() && [[self.view.subviews firstObject] isKindOfClass:[CCEAGLView class]]) {
//Restart scene without popping ViewController
//Works well
auto beam = GrowingBeam::createLayer();
auto scene = beam->getScene();
beam->_self = (__bridge void*) self;
cocos2d::Director::getInstance()->replaceScene(scene);
}else {
if (cocos2d::Director::getInstance()->getRunningScene()) {
//Restart scene after View Controller has been popped
// DOESN'T WORK !!
auto beam = GrowingBeam::createLayer();
auto scene = beam->getScene();
beam->_self = (__bridge void*) self;
[self.view insertSubview:(__bridge CCEAGLView *) cocos2d::Director::getInstance()->getOpenGLView()->getEAGLView() atIndex:0];
cocos2d::Director::getInstance()->replaceScene(scene);
scene->resume();
cocos2d::Director::getInstance()->resume();
}else {
//Start Scene for the first time
//Works well
CCEAGLView *eaglView = [CCEAGLView viewWithFrame: [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds
pixelFormat: kEAGLColorFormatRGBA8
depthFormat: GL_DEPTH24_STENCIL8_OES
preserveBackbuffer: NO
sharegroup: nil
multiSampling: NO
numberOfSamples: 0];
// IMPORTANT: Setting the GLView should be done after creating the RootViewController
auto gl2view = cocos2d::GLView::createWithEAGLView((__bridge void*)eaglView);
cocos2d::Director::getInstance()->setOpenGLView(gl2view);
[self.view insertSubview:eaglView atIndex:0];
auto beam = GrowingBeam::createLayer();
auto scene = beam->getScene();
beam->_self = (__bridge void*) self;
cocos2d::Director::getInstance()->runWithScene(scene);
cocos2d::Application::getInstance()->run();
}
}
