Okay, so I'm building an universal iOS app with an initial login view (view controller named LoginVC), just a plain simple UIViewController. If the login is successful the app segues to an navigation controller (MainNavigationVC). I created this segue through the storyboard gui of XCode, so no programmatic creation of the nav controller is done. The nav controller is presented modally in fullscreen, so the rest of the app is run atop the login view, with this nav controller as the centerpiece of everything.
The navigation controller contains a view (with a view controller named UserStartPageVC), and in its navigation bar is a logout button. This button sends an target action to UserStartPageVC, with the goal of dismissing the nav controller thus bringing the user back to the login view.
So far everything works fine. I can login and use the app as intended. But! When I log out and then re-login XCode tells me this:
Warning! Attempt to present <MainNavigationVC: 0x753110> on <LoginVC: 0x756fcf0> while a presentation is in progress!
I suppose this means that the login view is trying to modally display a MainNavigationVC navigation controller, but another one is already displayed, right? But how? Can a view be presented without showing?
And how can I get rid of the old nav controller when logging out? I've tried several ways of dismissing the modal view, for instance:
from within UserStartpageVC running
[x dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL]
[x dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES]
where x is either self, self.parentViewController or self.presentingViewController.
setting the LoginVC as a property in UserStartpageVC and running
[self.loginVC dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL]
and so on.
All of the tested calls actually brings me back to the login screen, so it's kind of working.
Any ideas? Relevant code samples can be provided if necessary, I just couldn't figure out which pieces that were of interest. The seguing to the navigation controller has no code (except for a performSegueWithIdentifier:sender:), and the code for dismissing it is the part I cannot seem to get straight.
As a sidenote. So far this isn't a REAL problem; the app runs, and it IS possible to logout and re-login without any other side-effects than an error message in XCode. But I suppose this will be a memory leak if users logout and login multiple times, and I'm not in the mood of an unnecessary rejection from Apple.
