SIGBART NSInternalInconsistencyException attempting transition while transition in progress - xcode

I'm extending Appirater (a stand alone class that presents an UIAlertView to the user to solicit a rating for your app) by adding a single button that when selected will dismiss the alert, and bring up MFMailComposerViewController so the user can email feedback.
My implementation was/is to post a notification in Appirater, and then using [self presentModalViewController: vc animated: YES] from a viewController that listens for the notification. That viewController is the super class of all my main viewControllers.
It works in one of the main viewControllers is up, but crash's from within other viewControllers are the current viewController and I see the following warning in the console:
2010-12-17 11:27:59.632
Wine.com[18514:207] * Terminating
app due to uncaught exception
'NSInternalInconsistencyException',
reason: 'Attempting to begin a modal
transition from to
while a transition is
already in progress. Wait for
viewDidAppear/viewDidDisappear to know
the current transition has completed'
I tried delaying the sending of the notification from Appirater, but that does not seem to help.
Ideas/pointers?

I had a similar error when clicking on a UIButton to open a Modal View. I changed the UIButton's listener from UIControlEventAllEvents to UIControlEventTouchUpInside. Basically, it was firing the Modal View on Touch Down Inside and then trying to create another instance of the Modal View on Touch Up Inside.

The problem was that by implementing this in a superclass, I needed to make sure only the currently active viewController was processing the notification, not ALL 5 of them.

Mac OS X 10.8 NSUserNotification alert notification don't get dismissed

In our app we are displaying Notifications in alert style.
Displaying notification is working fine and we also get callback when user interacts with the notification either by clicking on notification or by clicking on Action button.
But the Alert Notification Pop up stay on the screen instead of going away even after user has dismissed it by clicking on the content of the notification.It goes away only after clicking close button.Pop up stay on the screen where as notification get cleared from notification center.
Is there is any solution to dismiss pop up when user click the content of alert notification.
You'll need to handle this manually. Implement the delegate method -userNotificationCenter:didActivateNotification: like this:
- (void)userNotificationCenter:(NSUserNotificationCenter *)center didActivateNotification:(NSUserNotification *)notification
{
if (notification.activationType == NSUserNotificationActivationTypeContentsClicked) {
[center removeDeliveredNotification:notification];
}
}

delegate of view in UIPopoverPresentationController not reponding

I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I have an app written for ios7.1 and we are now trying to make the same app support ios 8.1.
In this app we have several popovers. I've gone through the fix of having them show up properly as a popover in iOS8 but when I click on the popover it doesn't respond as expected.
Here's how it is being presented (all hooked up in storyboard):
in DashboardViewController:
if ([segue.identifier isEqualToString:#"showRHSMenu"]) {
_rightNavController = segue.destinationViewController;
_rightNavController.preferredContentSize = CGSizeMake(220, (_rightNavController.tableView.rowHeight * _rightNavController.dataArray.count));
_rightNavController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationPopover;
UIPopoverPresentationController *popoverPresentationController = _rightNavController.popoverPresentationController;
popoverPresentationController.delegate = self;
}
in _rightNavController, a protocol is declared to communicate with DashboardViewController. this works and gets executed in ios7.1 using UIPopoverController but in iOS8.1 using UIPopoverPresentationController, it does not trigger.
I have confirmed that the user clicks register in the rightNavController but the protocol/delegate is not being executed.
Can anyone help please?
An old question, but hopefully this helps someone else.
I ran into the same problem today, and the solution was to declare the popover controller as an instance variable rather than a local variable. As a local variable, it gets garbage collected any time after the method returns, regardless of whether the popover view is still on screen. (Garbage collection seems to be a lot more aggressive/efficient in iOS8, so likely just exposed a bug that you already had.) Keep a handle to the view controller until the view is dismissed, and all the delegate methods should work fine.

Adding a back button to table view with embedded Navigation Controller Xcode

Here is the flow of my app so far.
View controller (HOME) with rect button (modal) linking to > Table view controller with an embedded navigation controller linked to> Multiple View controllers with an image on each.
This work perfectly s but......
I want to have a "back" button on my Table view controller to take me back to my (HOME) View controller.
I am new to this and have tried to find relevant info and tried loads of options but noting seems to work and although i can see a button in the simulator (and have Modal linked it to my (HOME) view ) the simulator crashes every time and this error message appears.....
*2013-01-05 17:19:40.080 MASTER DETAIL POLAR TEST[10975:f803] -[HomeController setCharacterNumber:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x6894620

Please Help.....
may it would be the best your HOME viewController is embedded in the navigationController an become RootViewController. By clicking the rect-button the tableViewController will appear.
Use the navigationControllers method – pushViewController:animated: or create a new segue an select "push".
If you don't like this way you have to add a navigationBarButtonItem to the navigationBar. Link this button item to an action which send the message dismissViewControllerAnimated:completion: to the tableViewController. This should work.

NSUserNotificationCenter dismiss notification

I'm trying to use the new Mountain Lion NSUserNotificationCenter for my application (which isn't too hard actually). Posting notifications works like a charm via
NSUserNotification *userNotification = [[NSUserNotification alloc] init];
userNotification.title = #"Some title";
userNotification.informativeText = #"Some text";
[[NSUserNotificationCenter defaultUserNotificationCenter] deliverNotification:userNotification];
However, i'd like to dismiss all notifications that are on the screen once the app gains focus. E.g. like the new Messages app does it. When new messages are received in the background, notifications are shown. When the app becomes active again, these are dismissed automatically and vanish from the screen and from the Notification Center.
To replicate this, I've registered a method to the NSApplicationDidBecomeActiveNotification notification which also gets called succesfully. In there I call [NSUserNotificationCenter defaultUserNotificationCenter] removeAllDeliveredNotifications].
This, however, has the effect that notifications that have been collected in the Notification Center are removed while the corresponding "bubbles" that are displayed in the top right corner are still displayed.
Iterating all delivered notifications and removing them each on their own has the exactly same effect, as has using scheduleNotification instead of deliverNotification.
Am I the only one experiencing this, or am I missing something to dismiss the on-screen part and the Notification Center part of a notification programatically?
The Messages app is probably using the private NSUserNotificationCenter _removeAllDisplayedNotifications or _removeDisplayedNotification: method.
You can try to use these methods to test if this is what you are looking for. Just add this category interface to declare the methods:
#interface NSUserNotificationCenter (Private)
- (void)_removeAllDisplayedNotifications;
- (void)_removeDisplayedNotification:(NSUserNotification *)notification;
#end
Unfortunately, since these are undocumented methods, you can not use them in an app distributed through the App Store. If this is indeed what you are looking for, then you should file a bug and ask for these methods to become part of the public API.
As of 10.9, the following methods remove any displayed notifications:
// Clear a delivered notification from the notification center. If the
// notification is not in the delivered list, nothing happens.
- (void)removeDeliveredNotification:(NSUserNotification *)notification;
// Clear all delivered notifications for this application from the
// notification center.
- (void)removeAllDeliveredNotifications;
The behavior seems to have changed since 10.8, as any displayed notifications are removed as well when these methods are called (thanks #0xced for clarification).
removeDeliveredNotification is removing the displayed notification for me (on 10.11), the caveat being the identifier on the notification must be set.

UILocalNotification and alertLaunchImage

Hmmm……
A question about UILocalNotification and the notificaton's alertLaunchImage.
My app uses UILocalNotifiaction(s) to get users' attention. As usual, an alert is presented with "Action" and "Close" buttons. When the user taps Action, the image specified by alertLaunchImage is presented. The alertLaunchImage is a screenshot of of one of the views of the app which is shown after the data is initialized when launched normally.
Here are the 3 cases when the notification is delivered:
App is running in foreground - no alert, no launchImage is shown as designed. No problems.
If my app is running in background when the notification is delivered, the launchImage works like a charm. No problems. The launchImage with no app-related data is shown and then the app fills up the data. This part works seamlessly.
However, if the app is not running when the notification is delivered, the sequence is confusing - or I missed something. The app gets launched and shows the alertLaunchImage instead of the Default image. Then is goes thru several other screens (as part of initialization and data processing) before the actual screen (live version of alertLaunchImage) is shown.
This can get very confusing to the user. My question comes in here. How can this be avoided?

you can try cleaning up the alert view settings in applicationWillTerminate:
According to the UIApplicationDelegate reference applicationWillTerminate::
"This method lets your application know
that it is about to be terminated and
purged from memory entirely. You
should use this method to perform any
final clean-up tasks for your
application, such as freeing shared
resources, saving user data,
invalidating timers, and storing
enough application state to
reconstitute your application’s
interface when it is relaunched"
HTH,

If your app is launched by a local notification, you will receive that notification in the options passed to -application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:. Based on that, you can write code that navigates to the correct screen without animations.
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
UILocalNotification *localNotification = [launchOptions valueForKey:UIApplicationLaunchOptionsLocalNotificationKey];
if (localNotification != nil) {
// startup by local notification
} else {
// normal startup
}
}
