executing an action in a different view controller - ios

Question

In my application, I am trying to create a button, with a button. My code right now is as follows:
- (IBAction)doneTextField:(id)sender {
YourShortcutsViewController *YSVC2 = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"ViewController2"];
YSVC2.stringFromTextField = self.textField.text;
[self presentViewController:YSVC2 animated:YES completion:nil];
{
UIButton *btn = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
btn.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 50);
[btn addTarget:self action:#selector(newButtonClicked) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[btn setTitle:#"FaceTime" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[self.view addSubview:btn];
}
}
this works, but I need the button that is being added to add in a different view controller, not the view controller that the code is in.
How would I do this??
Thank you

You need to create a function to add the button in the new view controller:
In YourShortcutsViewController.h:
-(void)addFaceTimeButton:(UIButton*);
In YourShortcutsViewController.m:
-(void)addFaceTimeButton:(UIButton*){
[self.view addSubview:btn];
}
And then change your code to:
- (IBAction)doneTextField:(id)sender {
YourShortcutsViewController *YSVC2 = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"ViewController2"];
YSVC2.stringFromTextField = self.textField.text;
[self presentViewController:YSVC2 animated:YES completion:nil];
UIButton *btn = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
btn.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 50);
[btn addTarget:self action:#selector(newButtonClicked) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[btn setTitle:#"FaceTime" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[YSVC2 addFaceTimeButton:btn];
}
