How do I cross dissolve when pushing views on a UINavigationController in iOS 7?

Question

If I simply call the push method with:

[self.navigationController pushViewController:viewController animated:YES]; 

then it uses a push animation. How do I change it to use a cross dissolve animation, like I can with a modal segue?

Answer 1

You can use a CATransition as demonstrated in this answer:

CATransition* transition = [CATransition animation]; transition.duration = 0.5; transition.type = kCATransitionFade; [self.navigationController.view.layer addAnimation:transition forKey:nil]; [self.navigationController pushViewController:viewController animated:NO];
