Attempting to push a UIViewController onto a UITableViewController

I'm currently working on an app that retrieves a list of films from the rotten tomatoes API and displays them in a table. I'd like a UIViewController to show up once I tap on a row so I can display a detailed page.

Here's the code I have for my didSelectRowAtIndexPath.

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath     *)indexPath
{
    [tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];
    DetailViewController *detailViewController = [[DetailViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"DetailViewController" bundle:nil];
    //UINavigationController *navigation = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:self]; // This line of code throws an exception for some reason. 
    [self.navigationController pushViewController:detailViewController animated:YES];
}

It might be that I haven't slept for a very long time but I can't for the life of me figure out where I'm going wrong.

PS. I'm using arc.

Write these properties in AppDelegate.h file

@property (strong, nonatomic) YourFirstViewController *yourFirstController;
@property (nonatomic, retain) UINavigationController *navigationControl;

Write this code in AppDelegate.m file

 - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
    {

        self.window = [[[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]] autorelease];
        self.yourFirstViewController = [[YourFirstViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"YourFirstViewController" bundle:nil]];
        navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:self.yourFirstViewController];
        [self.window addSubview:[navigationController view]];
        [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
        return YES;
    }

I think it will be helpful to you.

Are you sure your navigation controller is initialized?

If not your are properly missing something like this in the place where you construct your UIViewController:

MyVc = [[MyVC alloc] initWithNibName:@"MyVC" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navCon = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:myVc];
[_window addSubview:navCon.view];
