Perform Segue on ViewDidLoad

Question

In iOS 5 I have a Storyboard with a modal view controller, that I would like to display if its the user's first time in the app, after that I would like to skip this view controller.

I set an NSDefault key to handle this but when I check to see if this is set and then use performSegueWithIdentifier to initiate the segue, nothing happens. If i put this segue behind a button it works fine...

I answered a similar question where the developer wanted to show a login screen at the start. I put together some sample code for him that can be downloaded here. The key to solving this problem is calling things at the right time if you want to display this new view controller, you will see in the example you have to use something like this

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {     [super viewDidAppear:animated];      UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil];     UIViewController *vc = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"LoginViewController"];     [vc setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationFullScreen];      [self presentModalViewController:vc animated:YES]; } 

I also have an explanation of how segues and storyboards work that you can see here
