Modal transition - One of the views is seemingly getting deallocated - ios

Question

In my app, I do a search asynchronously. When that completes my mapViewController with pins for the locations is displayed. 2 seconds after that, I do a modal transition over to a listViewController. I set the backgroundcolor like this:
self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:1.0 alpha:0.65];
Making it possible to see the map behind it.
The problem is this: Less then a second after the listView appears you can see the map in the background for a second before it goes away. What I can see in the background now, is the mainViewController the app starts with.
it looks like this:
Less than a second later:
Any help/explanation would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Your view is still transparent, but once your modal controller is at the top of the stack, the view behind it is hidden.
Try using :
yourController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationCurrentContext;
[yourController present...];

Answer 2

This code seems to work. I hope it will help.
-(void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view from its nib.
MKMapView *mapView = [MKMapView new];
[self.view addSubview:mapView];
mapView.frame = self.view.bounds;
UIGestureRecognizer *gestureRecognizer = [UITapGestureRecognizer new];
[gestureRecognizer addTarget:self action:#selector(displayTransparentVC)];
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:gestureRecognizer];
}
-(void)displayTransparentVC
{
UIViewController *vc = [TransparentViewController new];
self.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationCurrentContext;
[self presentViewController:vc animated:YES completion:^{
}];
}
