now im doing (in my mainViewController):

Answer 1

As another "workaround" for this problem, you could use delegation. Create a protocol that would act as data source for your UIViewController subclass from storyboard. Conform to this data source protocol, implement it and use it right after loading your UIViewController subclass:

required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder)
    {
        super.init(coder: aDecoder)

        //invoke your data source here
    }

I know... I also don't like this but... ;)
