Xcode: Storyboard change initial view controller

I started my app with the "master-detail" template. I simply added two other VCs and changed the "initial view controller" checkbox to "Safety Culture MainVC"...when I run, my app crashes...

What do I need to do?!

This is a screenshot of the default storyboard with my two other VCs thrown in--they work when the "Navigation Controller" is the default.

Clearly, I'm a beginner, so as much detail as you can give me is helpful!! Thanks!

Storyboard

For me, it was that I was doofishly accessing variables that were not set in my ViewDidLoad. This new view was previously hooked up to a segue from another view, which had set the variables.

topViewControlleris a method of a UINavigationController. You app tries to call this method and since it is not there it crashed.

In your image your entry point arrow is still on the navigation controller:

Move it via drag&drop to your safetyCultureMainVClike this: enter image description here

Your Initial View Controller needs to be embedded in something when you are in a storyboard. For example, tab bar controller, navigation controller...

Judging from your workflow you posted, all your controllers should be part of the same navigation controller. Starts with Safety Culture, then goes one of two paths depending on which button is pushed.

It should look like this:
