So I had a full working solution in iOS7 that displays a LoginViewController via presentViewController in the AppDelegate\'s didFinishLaunching.
Basically I am doing so
I have also faced the same problem in iOS8 and I found this solution:
ABCViewController *obj = [[ABCViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"ABCViewController" bundle:nil];
CATransition *transition = [CATransition animation];
transition.duration = 0.4;
transition.timingFunction = [CAMediaTimingFunction functionWithName:kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseInEaseOut];
transition.type = kCATransitionMoveIn;
transition.subtype = kCATransitionFromBottom;
transition.delegate = self;
[self.navigationControler.view.layer addAnimation:transition forKey:nil];
[appDelegate.navigationControler obj animated:NO];
obj = nil;
I hope this solution can help you!
