First, you need to have a NavigationController if you want another view controller to be pushed on when you click a button. The steps you would need to do are the following

1. Start with a MasterDetail app on iPhone
2. In the xib file, put your buttons and wire them up to the correct methods

3. In the view did appear of the view controller have the following code

    self.tbc1 = [[UITabBarController alloc] init]; self.tbc2 = [[UITabBarController alloc] init]; UIViewController *tbc1vc1 = [[UIViewController alloc] init]; UIViewController *tbc1vc2 = [[UIViewController alloc] init]; UIViewController *tbc1vc3 = [[UIViewController alloc] init]; UITableViewController *tbc2vc1 = [[UITableViewController alloc] init]; UIViewController *tbc2vc2 = [[UIViewController alloc] init]; UIViewController *tbc2vc3 = [[UIViewController alloc] init]; [self.tbc1 setViewControllers:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:tbc1vc1,tbc1vc2,tbc1vc3, nil]]; [self.tbc1 setViewControllers:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:tbc2vc1,tbc2vc2,tbc2vc3, nil]]; 

4. Ofcourse you have to have properties defined for tbc1 adn tbc2 in your view controller.

5. In the app delegate do the following

     self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]]; ViewController *myViewController = [[ViewController alloc] init]; self.viewController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:myViewController]; self.window.rootViewController = self.viewController; [self.window makeKeyAndVisible]; return YES; 

6. Change the UIViewController in the .h file to UINavigationController like

    @property (strong, nonatomic) UINavigationController *viewController; 

7. Have the two buttons and wire it to the following methods

    -(IBAction)tbc1Clicked{ [self.navigationController pushViewController:self.tbc1 animated:YES]; } -(IBAction)tbc2Clicked{ [self.navigationController pushViewController:self.tbc2 animated:YES]; }
