iOS Switching Views with NIB to add log in screen to APP

[LostinMac]

greetings all,

My team and I are having a problem adding a login screen to an app that we know works.
Right now the system will through the error of unidentified selector to instance error.
If we take out the login view controller and all subsequent information the system will get the information from our JSON server and present it properly but we just can't add the login XIB and associated ViewControllers to the app. We have been banging our heads against this wall for over a week now and anythign we try either will not present the UITABLEView Controller to the screen or gives us this werror.

We are somewhat new to XCODE and IPHONE programming but not newbies to programming logic, just xcode and iphone logic.
We have several different versions of this app that are working on and we want get the pieces to work together.

here is the code

thanks for the help in advance.

You are initialising ViewController with LoginViewController's xib.

appdelegate.m

//
//  AppDelegate.m


#import "AppDelegate.h"

#import "LoginViewController.h"
#import "ViewController.h"

@implementation AppDelegate

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
    // Override point for customization after application launch.
    self.viewController = [[ViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"LoginViewController" bundle:nil];
    UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:self.viewController];
    self.window.rootViewController = navController;
    [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
    return YES;
}

@end

Should be like this:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
    // Override point for customization after application launch.
    self.viewController = [[LoginViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"LoginViewController" bundle:nil];
    UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:self.viewController];
    self.window.rootViewController = navController;
    [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
    return YES;
}

CodeBreaker,

Thanks for the suggestion

but we get this error

2012-10-21 11:46:07.730 JSONNews[2039:f803] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'Application tried to present modally an active controller <LoginViewController: 0x681ca10>.'

when we push the login button on the front screen. We have also tried to change to a subview to it in order to present the table but it just won't go.

Thanks

Got any other suggestions

Thanks
John

You are pushing a view controller in the navigation stack and then presenting it as a modal view controller. You can't do both. Either present it as a modal controller or push it in the navigation stack.

- (IBAction)continue:(id)sender
{
    ViewController * viewcontroller = [[ViewController alloc]init];
    [self.navigationController pushViewController: viewcontroller animated:YES];
    
    // Do not do this:
    // [self presentModalViewController:viewcontroller animated:YES];

    
}
