Given the below code
self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor yellowColor];
MyViewController *myVC = [[MyViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"MyView" bundle:nil]
myVC.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
myVC.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFullScreen;
[self presentViewController:myVC animated:NO completion:nil];
What happens under the hood when we call presentViewController ? When myVC is visible I cannot see yellow color, then I checked myVC.view.superView in it's viewDidAppear method and it is UIWindow.
Q1. Is that mean until the modal window is up presentingViewController.view (self.view in above case) is removed from the View hierarchy and presentedViewController.view (myVC.view in above case) is added over UIWindow ?
Q2. What will be the case if myVC.modalPresentationStyle != UIModalPresentationFullScreen ?
Q3. Does iOS also remove all the views from UIWindow except presentedViewController.view until the full screen modal dialog is up for optimization ? If NO why not ?
