iOS parentViewController

[patrover]

let's say AViewController pushes BViewController,
now i call bViewController.parentViewController, i'm expecting to get aViewController but i get a navigationController instead..

can anyone explain? thanks

From the documentation on parentViewController:

Parent view controllers are relevant in navigation, tab bar, and modal view controller hierarchies. In each of these hierarchies, the parent is the object responsible for displaying the current view controller.

Since you're using a navigation view controller hierarchy, the navigation controller is the one responsible.
