Checking if a ViewController on Navigation Stack exists

I have this code here to check on the existence of the ViewController. And unfortunately it doesn't work. The thing is, it is executed at the moment of another VC popping from the Navigation Stack:

- (void) leftViewDidHide{
    if ([((AppDelegate *)[UIApplication sharedApplication].delegate).frontViewController.navigationController.viewControllers objectAtIndex:1]) {
    SGServerListViewController *sample = [[[((AppDelegate *)[UIApplication sharedApplication].delegate).frontViewController.navigationController.viewControllers objectAtIndex:1]childViewControllers] objectAtIndex:0];
    [sample.serverTableView setUserInteractionEnabled:YES];
    }
}

The app crashes with an exception breakpoint pointing me to the line with an if statement. Any ideas on what could be wrong here? I'm just trying to check if this VC is there and if it is - execute the code.

You can do that (checking if a ViewController on Navigation Stack exists) with this code:

if navigationController?.viewControllers.count > 1 {
    for root in (self.navigationController?.viewControllers)! {
        if root is ViewController {
           let i = root as? ViewController
            i?.table.removeFromSuperview()
        }
    }
}
self.navigationController?.popToRootViewControllerAnimated(true)

NSArray *viewControlles = self.navigationController.viewControllers;

for (int i = 0 ; i <viewControlles.count; i++){
    if ([[viewControlles objectAtIndex:i] isKindOfClass:[RequiredViewController class]]) {

        //Enter your code

    }
}

- (void) leftViewDidHide{

if ([((AppDelegate *)[UIApplication sharedApplication].delegate).frontViewController.navigationController.viewControllers count] == 1) {

         SGServerListViewController *sample = [[[((AppDelegate *)[UIApplication sharedApplication].delegate).frontViewController.navigationController.viewControllers objectAtIndex:1]childViewControllers] objectAtIndex:0];
         [sample.serverTableView setUserInteractionEnabled:YES];

     }
 }

-(BOOL)isControllerAlreadyOnNavigationControllerStack{

    for (UIViewController *vc in self.navigationController.viewControllers) {
        if ([vc isKindOfClass:Controller.class]) {
            [self.navigationController popToViewController:vc animated:NO];
            return YES;
        }
    }
    return NO;
}


if (![self isControllerAlreadyOnNavigationControllerStack]) {
    //push controller 
}

 NSArray *controllerArray = [self.navigationController.viewControllers];
//will get all the controllers added to UINavigationController.

    for (id controller in controllerArray)
   { 
      // iterate through the array and check for your controller
      if ([controller isKindOfClass:[checkYourController class]]) 
          {
              //do your stuff here
          }
    }

just for an idea containsObject: method of NSArray class might also work.
