How to come back from view controller to tabbed view controller

Question

I have an issue the dismissing view controller to the tabbed view controller. I will explain my flow.

1. view controller to tabbed view controller(push)

2. I have 5 tabs in the tabbed view controller in the 3 tabbed i have an camera view from their i am presenting the view controller and passing some parameters by using this code

      UIStoryboard *storybord=[UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"Main" bundle:nil];
   
   shareViewController   *shareview=[storybord instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"share"];
   [self presentViewController:shareview animated:YES completion:nil];
   //shareview.finalvideourl=videoURL;
   shareview.videooutputstring=videoPath;
   

3. from the share view controller I want send the data back to the 1st tab for this I am using the below code

   UIStoryboard *story=[UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"Main" bundle:nil];
   TabedfirstViewController *Tabedfirst=[story instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"id"];
   
   UINavigationController *nc = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:Tabedfirst];
   
   [self presentViewController: nc animated:YES completion:^{
       [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:@"ShareArray" object:_selectedimgarray];
       [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:@"SharetitleArray" object:_newtile];
       [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:@"sharevideooutputstring" object:_videooutputstring];
   }];
   

When I do this very thing working good I am sending the data from share view to the tabbed view and I am printing it.

The problem is when I send the second time data from share viewcontroller to the tabbed view controller first data is deleting and the second passed data is replacing the first i.e. I have the 15 objects in an array, from share view controller I am passing array to the tabbed view controller now the array count is 16 and I am printing it, now again I am passing one more object from the share view to tabbed view the array count must increase to 17 but it 16 only.

In the App delegate add/make properties of your arrays like

 @property (nonatomic, retain) NSMutableArray *array1;

In AppDelegate.m initiate all your properties

After that in the controller where you are storing the values add instance of AppDelegate as

In

- (void)viewDidLoad
 {
  [super viewDidLoad];
   objAppDelegate = (AppDelegate*)[[UIApplication sharedApplication]delegate];
  objAppDelegate.array1= _imagearray=[@[@"bootimages",@"fall-photography-in-hocking-hills", @"gift",@"hillimages",@"Mercedes-classe-S-W116_large_dettaglio_articolo",@"prini‌​mages",@"resplendent",@"tnb4",@"Tomato-plant",@"Vole",@"waterimages",@"fall-photo‌​graphy-in-hocking-hills", @"gift",@"hillimages",@"Mercedes-classe-S-W116_large_dettaglio_articolo"]mutable‌​Copy];

then

[objAppDelegate.array1 insertObject:[userInfo firstObject] atIndex:0];

The values are maintained and can be used anywhere in the whole project. If your number of objects keeps on increasing then you NSMutableDictionary and add as much key/value pairs as you like.
