In my app I have three table view controllers and then potentially many UIViewControllers each of which has to lead back to the first table view controller if the user presses back at any point. I don't want the user to have to back through potentially hundreds of pages. This is what I amusing to determine if the user pressed the back button and it works the message is printed
override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
if !movingForward {
print("moving back")
let startvc = self.storyboard!.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "FirstTableViewController")
_ = self.navigationController!.popToViewController(startvc, animated: true)
}
}
I have searched and none of the solutions have worked so far.
