iOS5到iOS4崩溃-ViewControllers

Question

Currently I am trying to make my app available for iOS4, to increase the number of people we can reach.

We have moved away from StoryBoard and are now using .xib files instead.

Right now, the only thing that is stopping this is this error:

terminate called throwing an exception(lldb) 

Usually I use this to open another view:

    UIViewController *controller;
    controller = [[CategoryViewController alloc]initWithNibName:@"CategoryViewController" bundle:nil];
    controller.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve;
    [self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
    [controller release];

But in this case I call a function from a different file (for efficiency) using this code:

#import "AllofTheFiles.h"

+ (void)openCalcView: (NSString *)nameOfView fromViewController:(UIViewController *)controller {

    NSUserDefaults *saveSpot = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];

    UIViewController *modalController;

    if ([nameOfView isEqualToString:@"Tax"]) {

        modalController= [[TAXViewController alloc]initWithNibName:@"TAXViewController" bundle:nil];

    }else if ([nameOfView isEqualToString:@"Rent"]){

        modalController= [[RENTViewController alloc]initWithNibName:@"RENTViewController" bundle:nil];

    }  //... cut other else if's to save space

modalController.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve;
[controller presentViewController:modalController animated:YES completion:nil];
[modalController release]; 

}

How can I fix this? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

presentViewController:animated:completion: is available on iOS5 and above only, hence you get that crash.

Change the last part to:

modalController.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve;
//do we support the new way of presenting a modal viewController?
if ([controller respondsToSelector:@selector(presentViewController:animated:completion:)])
{   //yes->so do it!
    [controller presentViewController:modalController animated:YES completion:NULL];
}
else
{   //nope->we seem to be running on something prior to iOS5, do it the old way!
    [controller presentModalViewController:modalController animated:YES];
}
[modalController release]; 

This will first check if the new way of presenting a viewController is supported. For making sure that this works fine in the future, as presentModalViewController: is marked as being deprecated, we only use that option if the new way is not available.

Answer 2

You may need to present a navcontroller, and/or use presentModalViewController, try the following:

UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:modalController];
navController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationPageSheet;
navController.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve;
[controller  presentModalViewController:navController animated:YES completion:nil];
[modalController release];
[navController release];

Answer 3

The Till's solution is far the best.
But if, like me, you have numbers of present/DismissModalViewController: calls in your code, and doesn't want to duplicate the respondsToSelector test and is deprecated warnings over and over, just make UIViewController addition:

@implementation UIViewController (iOS4Compatibility)

- (void)presentViewController:(UIViewController *)viewControllerToPresent animated:(BOOL)flag {
    if([self respondsToSelector:@selector(presentViewController:animated:completion:)])
        [self presentViewController:viewControllerToPresent animated:flag completion:nil];
    else
        [self presentModalViewController:viewControllerToPresent animated:flag];
}

- (void)dismissViewControllerAnimated:(BOOL)flag {
    if([self respondsToSelector:@selector(dismissViewControllerAnimated:completion:)])
        [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:flag completion:nil];
    else
        [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:flag];
}
