How to perform Segue in AppDelegate?

Question

You can do it like this:

UINavigationController *navigationController = (UINavigationController*) self.window.rootViewController;

[[[navigationController viewControllers] objectAtIndex:0] performSegueWithIdentifier:@"goToMeeting" sender:self];

This will only work if the index in viewControllers array matches the one of your view controller and if it exists of course. In this case is the first one (in the array and storyboard).

The segue ("goToMeeting") must not be attached to an action. The way you do this is by control-dragging from the file owner icon at the bottom of the storyboard scene to the destination scene. A popup will appear that will ask for an option in “Manual Segue”; pick “Push” as the type. Tap on the little square and make sure you’re in the Attributes Inspector. Give it an identifier which you will use to refer to it in code.
