Question

When I click the cross button in more view controller the action will push to home view controller.

But the tab bar did not automatically highlight the home tab bar. The result I want is like this

The code below is the action push to home view controller

-(void)tapDetected{
    HomeMainViewController *vc = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier: @ "homeVC"];
    [self.navigationController pushViewController:vc animated: YES];
}

I assume you are using a UITabBarController. If yes, try this :

    UITabBarController* vc = (UITabBarController*) self.parentViewController;

    if( vc && [vc isKindOfClass:[MainTabViewController class]] )
    {
        [vc setSelectedIndex:0];
    }
