故事板：从子视图弹出到根视图控制器

Question

this is my first app so this should be simple for experienced ios developer. I have a story board with navigation controller and in one of my view controller there is a subview. On click in subview, I want to return to the root controller but unfortunately it is not working. Subview Controller

- (IBAction)doneAction:(id)sender {
    if ([self.parentViewController isKindOfClass:[PlayViewController class]]){
        PlayViewController *pControl = (PlayViewController *) self.parentViewController;
        [pControl goToMainView];
    }else{
        NSLog(@"NOT AN INSTANCE");
    }
}

View Controller

-(void)goToMainView{
    NSLog(@"I AM HERE");
    [self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:YES];
    /*SWRevealViewController *secondViewController =
    [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"gameController"];
    [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"gameView" sender:self];
    [self.navigationController pushViewController:secondViewController animated:YES];*/
}

Any help is appreciated. Thank you

This is how my storyboard looks like

Answer 1

Seems like one of the connections from root view to view controller in the attached screenshots is modal (or both?).
In this case the view controller is not part of navigation controller stack.

Try to change the types of these 2 segues to push .
This should add each of these view controllers to navigation controller's views stack and each of them will have a non-nil navigationController property.
