Cancel button in Navigation View not working

Question

code for cancel button is

- (IBAction)cancelButton:(id)sender {
    [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}

While tracing the program I can see the method is called however the view is not dissmissing to the previous view controller.

Answer 1

if you use Navigation View controller you should use

[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];

instead of dismissViewControllerAnimated

PS actually, I think you use storyboards and segues and in this case you should use UnwindSegue What are Unwind segues for and how do you use them? Also you should read some common documentation about in app navigation...
