Return to initial view controller when user logs out

Question

I'm working on an app which uses Facebook integration, and the log in system works fine now. However, I can't seem to return to my initial view controller when the user clicks log out.

Here's an overview of my storyboard:

I would like to return to the start when the user clicks the blue button (on the top). What would I do to achieve that? As you can see I have multiple Navigation Controllers, and I only use Push-seguesto get there. However, I do use the SWRevealViewController, which you can see in the middle.

I've tried [self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:YES]; which doesn't do anything.

Any advice? Anyone familiar with the SWRevealViewController and what it might have done to my Navigation stack? Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks.

Try this,

UIStoryboard* storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"NameOfYourStoryBoard" 
                                                     bundle:nil];
LoginViewController *add = 
           [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"viewControllerIdentifier"];

[self presentViewController:add 
                   animated:YES 
                 completion:nil];

Answer 2

Write Below Method in root viewcontroller

- (IBAction)returnToDashboard:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue;

Give segue connection to destination view controller like below

Give identifier to segue and assign method to that segue

use below method in destination view controller

 [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"pushtoDashboard" sender:self];

First of all, I don't think you need that many UINavigationControllers. Using only one in your application should be enough. The reason popToRootViewController is not working in your case is because it will go to the first view controller withing a UINavigationController. You have nested many UINavigationControllers, thus when you click the blue button in the settings view controller it will go to the sidebar view controller (can't read it properly, the image is small).

You can do the following to get to the root view controller of your app:

UINavigationController *rootController =[(UINavigationController*)[(AppDelegate*)
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication]delegate] window] rootViewController]];

Replace AppDelegate with however it's called in your app.

But my advice is to remove all intermediate UINavigationControllers. Then just doing popToRootViewController should do the trick.
