How to check whether a specific UiViewcontroller(Tabbar Embedded) is in the navigationController rack?

Question

I have a SignInVc as a starting point and a skip button. If user taps skip, e goes to home page and when he taps any button he is pushed to SignInVc.

The homeVC has TabBar, like its one of the 4 tab bar Vc's.

                   if let viewControllers = self.navigationController?.viewControllers {
                        for controller in viewControllers
                        {
                            if controller == (tabBarController?.viewControllers![0]){
                                print("FOUND IT")
                            }
                            print(controller)
                        }
                    }

While debugging with breakpoints, i can see the home page in navigationController?.viewControllers

But i cannot access it!!, the print is not executed. What should i use in the RHS of == ?

The plan is to push to the homeVC instead of print code.

EDIT:

I'm adding the screen shots of the debug below

Here i want to get to the view controller at Index 2

Answer 1

I am not sure whether am right,

logically declare a global variable,

var initiateHomePage: Bool? // declare above or outside any swift file

For button actions

case 1

  @IBAction func skipButtonTapped(_ sender: Any) {
      initiateHomePage = true // should go homepage
    
    }

case 2

  @IBAction func anyButtonTapped(_ sender: Any) {
      initiateHomePage = false // should go SignInVC
    
    }

Atlast

while executing

  if initiateHomePage == true {
      // redirect to home page
      // use this to redirect to tab bar 
       if let viewControllers = self.navigationController?.viewControllers {
                            for controller in viewControllers
                            {
                                if controller == (tabBarController?.viewControllers![0]){
                                    print("FOUND IT")
                                }
                                print(controller)
                            }
                        } 

    //  or use this 
    let ViewController:UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Module", bundle: nil)
        let tabBarController = ViewController.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "tabBar") as! UITabBarController
        let appDelegate = UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate
        appDelegate.window?.rootViewController = tabBarController
     
    } else {
      // redirect to SignINVC 
     
    }
