The app is for taking body measurements. The user can say I want to measure: legs, arms and neck, in the settings tab and in the main tab there is a view which loops round to take each measurement.
This is achieved like so:
i have tab controller
the first tab has a navigation controller
the first view controller on the storyboard and has one segue to itself
the board loops round until it has all the measurements then it segues to a different controller
the problem is: if the user changes which measurements they are taking in the settings tab, the first tab needs to completely reload, as if the app was just starting up, clearing down the whole nav stack etc.
at the moment the tab controller calls popToRootViewControllerAnimated on the navigation controller in the measurements tab, but this is causing a crash. Each screen has a slider control and a call to titleForRow:forComponent: is being called on a deleted view causing it to crash.
What am I doing wrong?!
Here's the tab bar controller code
// TabBarController.m
//
#import "TabBarController.h"
#import "TodaysMeasurementObject.h"
#import "AppDelegateProtocol.h"
#import "AddMeasurementViewController.h"
#import "ReadPerson.h"
#import "AppDelegate.h"
@interface TabBarController () <UITabBarControllerDelegate>
@end

UPDATED

[navigationController setViewControllers: [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:addMeasurement, nil]];
[viewControllers setObject:navigationController atIndexedSubscript:0];
self.viewControllers = viewControllers;
}
and removed the code from
- tabBarController:didSelectViewController:
but still the same error. I think the problem is that it's trying to get a value for the slide control after the view has been deleted. But some part of the view must still be alive...? Anyway to kill that off? Or leave it all alive??
