iOS: Changing UIButton Title through Delegate

Question

I'm using delegation to change the title of a UIButton.

.h MainView

//MainViewController.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@class SignUpDelegate;
@protocol SignUpDelegate <NSObject>
@required
-(void)loggedIn;
@end

@interface MainViewController : UITableViewController <NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate>
{
     id <SignUpDelegate> delegate;
}
@property (nonatomic, assign) id <SignUpDelegate> delegate;
-(void)loggedIn;

@end

.m

@interface MainViewController ()
//This button is connected to the UINavigationBar Button that needs its title changed.
//Via Interface Builder, the default value of the title is setup as "Login"
-@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIBarButtonItem *logInOutButton;
@end    

-(void)loggedIn
{
    NSLog (@"This is Logged in inside MainView.m");
    self.logInOutButton.title = @"Logout";
}

- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
    UIViewController *destinationViewController = segue.destinationViewController;
    Signup *signUp = [destinationViewController isKindOfClass:[Signup class]] ? (Signup*)destinationViewController : nil;
    signUp.mainViewController = self.delegate;
}

.h SignUp

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "MainViewController.h"
@interface SignUp : UIViewController <UITextFieldDelegate, UIActionSheetDelegate, SignUpDelegate>
@property (strong, nonatomic) MainViewController *mainViewController;
@end

.m

@synthesize mainViewController;
- (IBAction)createUser:(id)sender
{
   [self loggedIn];
}

- (void) loggedIn
{
    NSLog (@"This is Logged in inside SignUp");
    [mainViewController loggedIn];
}

So, both NSLogs Print fine, which I think means the delegate is working, however, the title on the UIButton on the Navigation Bar never changes to "Logout"

Answer 1

That's because you recreate STMasterViewController (should this have been MainViewController instead?) every time in the loggedIn delegate method. (You can verify this by adding a breakpoint on -[MainViewController loggedIn] and checking if self.logInOutButton is non-nil). Instead you should get the reference to existing instance of MainViewController and operate on that.
