validation method doesn't gets called and segue doesn't gets triggered - ios

Question

I am trying to implement a sign up process with a parse backend. I have a validation method called processFieldEntries and once the done button gets enabled, I try to trigger the segue that I setup modally from my view controller(not from the done button) from view did appear method but neither the validation method gets called nor the segue gets triggered. I setup some debug and logging breakpoints for debugging but, I couldn't go any further apart from the fact that it does not see the view did load. I also tried setting up the segue from the done button. When I did that, the segue gets triggered, not from the code but from storyboard my storyboard here. If someone can help me to figure out how to call processfieldentriees along with the segue, I would really appreciate. Thank you.

You could try not to use performSegueWithIdentifier inside viewDidAppear (performSegue actually take you to the other ViewController). Instead you could call it from an IBAction method connected to the done button, after calling in the same method processFieldEntries. I hope this can help you :)
