"-(id) init" do not fire in ViewController when using storyboard

Question

I notice "-(id) init" in ViewController is not executed when using storyboard. is there any other method that could replace init, or is there is away to force firing init.

Answer 1

try to use

- (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder*)aDecoder 
{
    if(self = [super initWithCoder:aDecoder]) 
 {
        // Do something
    }
    return self;
}

Answer 2

- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibName bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundle is called instead.

As the comment above indicates, you need to decide if there might be a more appropriate method to override. Keep in mind that the view has not yet been loaded in the initWithNibName method, so don't try to change anything there yet.
