Reset current NavigationController and present another tab

I have an app (with a UITabBarController) that can reach the final payment view via two tabs, each with their own NavigationController.
(The illustration only shows the two tabs in question)

When payment is successful I want to reset both NavigationControllers and present tab 1.

If I was on tab 1 I could just use this code:

self.navigationController?.popToRootViewControllerAnimated(true)

But if I was on tab 2 that only brings me to the first viewController in navigationController in tab 2...

How can I present another tab while also resetting the NavigationController I am on (and others)?

Any help is very much appreciated. Thank you !

1) Create a custom UITabBarController or make a category that has a method called something like: completePayment()

- (void) completePayment
{
   [self setSelectedIndex:n] // n is the index of your destination tab
   [[[self viewControllers] objectAtIndex:m] popToRootViewControllerAnimated: YES]; // reset the stack in the current tab
}

2) trigger this method from the ViewController that the paymant is done as such:[self.tabbarController completePayment];

3) Profit!

There are probably ways of doing this in somewhat hacky ways, but what I will suggest you is that you reconsider your flow when you ask yourself a question like this one. Each UITab is designed to hold a UINavigationView that is self contained and independent from other UITab elements. If you force reset a tab that you are not on, you are breaking the flow and confusing the users.

So I recommend you push your Payment ViewController, wherever you need it in the app. And don't mess with other Tabs states.
