Many answers are right    Check your presentingViewController have parentViewController or not   If no  add it to somewhere it should be added else  check it s parentViewController has parentViewController recursively until every viewController has parent   This issue happened to me when my co-worker add a AViewController to BViewController  Somehow  he just add the AViewController s view to BViewController s view   Fixed by add bViewController addChild aViewController

I think that the problem is that you do not have a proper view controller hierarchy  Set the rootviewcontroller of the app and then show new views by pushing or presenting new view controllers on them  Let each view controller manage their views  Only container view controllers  like the tabbarviewcontroller  should ever add other view controllers views to their own views  Read the view controllers programming guide to learn more on how to use view controllers properly  https   developer apple com library content featuredarticles ViewControllerPGforiPhoneOS

you need to add the view controller that will present the new controller as a child of the parent view controller   Let s say you have yourMainViewController  then you add a new controller called controllerA  and then you want to present a new controller called controllerB from controllerA  you have to write something like this    self addChildViewController controllerA     self is yourMainViewController  self view addsubView controllerA view      and within controllerA you can present the new controller without warnings   self presentViewController controllerB animated YES completion nil     self is controllerA

Wait for viewDidAppear     This error can also arise if you are trying to present view controller before view actually did appear  for example presenting view in viewWillAppear   or earlier  Try to present another view after viewDidAppear   or inside of it

Lots of reasons for this warning  Mine is because I have a segue connected from a ViewController to another that will be presented modally  But  the ViewController I am presenting from is being dynamically generated by a PageViewController  Which is why it is detached in the Storyboard  My app isn t going to crash because of it  but I would like to silence the warning

The reason of this warning is i was presenting a view controller over a small view that is not full size view  Given below is the image of my project  where on click on four option above  User navigate to different childviewcontroller s view  it works like tabViewcontroller   But the childviewcontroller contains view of small size  So if we present a view from childviewcontroller it gives this warning      And to avoid this  you can present a view on childviewcontroller s parent     self parentViewController presentViewController viewController animated YES completion nil
