"Back" button is missing in my navigation controntroller

Question

• I create a standard navigation controller
• I do Editor > "embed in" navigation controller
• I create segue from mother controller to navigation controller, name it

• I perform a custom segue:

  performSegueWithIdentifier(CONSTANTS.SegueListMessagesToMessages, sender:view)

Great, it pops up.

However, the child view doesn't have a back button on the navigation controller bar.

I guess I could add a bar button item...but I can't find the Chevron that Apple uses for "Back" in the symbols. Why can't the back button be there automatically?

Answer 1

Embed the mother controller in the navigation controller then create your segue link. [Navigation Controller] <-(relationship segue)-> [Root View Controller] -(show segue)-> [Child View Controller]
