UIBarButtonItems shift position when UINavigationController is presented modally

Question

I\'m presenting a UINavigationController modally, from within an iOS app extension:

UINavigationController *nav = [[UINavigationController alloc] in         


        

Answer 1

As @Stonz2 mentioned, this appears to be a characteristic of presenting a modal from a detached view controller. I was having the same problem and remedied it by re-organizing my app so that it wasn't presenting from a detached controller.

You'll know if you're presenting from a detached controller if you get the following error message:

Presenting view controllers on detached view controllers is discouraged
