I launch a modal view controller VCM embedded in a Navigation controller from VC1.

The modal VC has a button to go to another View Controller, VC2.

if the user presses the button to go to VC2, I need to simultaneously dismiss the modal and also change the sending from VC1 to VC2. (It's important to dismiss the modal to get rid of it, so I don't have VCs accumulating on the stack.)

Here is the action method in the modal attached to the VC2 button.

- (IBAction)VC2ButtonPressed:(id)sender {



    [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:true completion:nil];

//Above line works fine

    [VC1 performSegueWithIdentifier:@"showVC2" sender:VC1];//No known class method error



}

I can dismiss the modal without any problem (first line) but can't figure out how to simultaneously segue to VC2. There is a storyboard segue in VC1 named 'showVC2' for what it's worth. I do not have any relevant class methods currently in the sending VC. Should I create a special class method? Or how can I invoke a method in the VC that launched the modal.

Edit:

I also tried:

[self.presentingViewController performSegueWithIdentifier:@"showVC2" sender:self];

This compiles but gives runtime error () has no segue with identifier 'showVC2''

I think this is because VC2 is embedded in a tabbarcontroller.

Edit2:

I tried putting code in completion handler as suggested by @Oscar but while code gets fired, VC2 does not load

 [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:^{

        [self gotoVC2];

    }];

new method

-(void)gotoVC2 {

    LogDebug(@"gotoVC2 called");//DOES log to console

    UIStoryboard *storyBoard = self.storyboard;



    IDFeedVC *VC2 =

    [storyBoard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"vc2"];

    [self presentViewController:VC2 animated:YES completion: nil];

}

Thanks for any ideas.
