I know an answer has been accepted over two years ago, however this answer is incomplete.
There is no way to do what you’re wanting out-of-the-box
This is technically correct because the UINavigationController
API doesn’t offer any options for this. However by using the CoreAnimation framework it’s possible to add a completion block to the underlying animation:
[CATransaction begin];
[CATransaction setCompletionBlock:^{
// handle completion here
}];
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
[CATransaction commit];
The completion block will be called as soon as the animation used by popViewControllerAnimated:
ends. This functionality has been available since iOS 4.
