viewDidLoad not firing

Question

All,
I'm creating a windowController from my applicationDidFinishLaunching method...

(void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification {
   myWC = [[myWindowController alloc] initWithWindowNibName:@"myWindowControllerName"];

   [myWC showWindow:self];
}

At this point, the method windowDidLoad is called. From there, I call the method to load the viewController...

(void)windowDidLoad {
    [super windowDidLoad];

    homeScreenVC = [[HomeScreen alloc] initWithNibName:@"HomeScreen" bundle:nil];

    [baseView addSubview:[homeScreenVC view]];
}

While the view appears, the method viewDidLoad is not called. I tried viewDidAppear and that was not called either. I also tried loading the viewController immediately after loading the window and that also did not work. Any ideas?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

For OSX You should use loadView

EDIT: You can load your show homeScreenVC from appDelegate:

- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification{
    homeScreenVC = [[HomeScreen alloc] initWithNibName:@"HomeScreen" bundle:nil];
    [self.window.contentView addSubview:self.homeViewController.view];
    homeScreenVC.view.frame = ((NSView*)self.window.contentView).bounds;
}

Don't load the view here, this method gets called when the view is loaded

-(void)loadView{
    [super loadView];
    //anything you want to do when home screen is presented
}
