How to prevent segue back upon tapping screen

How do I prevent Xcode from preforming a segue back to previous view controller/screen when I tap on a screen.

When I click anywhere on a view controller/screen it sends me back to the previously viewed view controller/screen.

I've tested with the simulator and on a real iPhone and it does the same thing. Additionally, I've tested this by removing all segues in Xcode and it still sends me back to previous screen if I click anywhere.

[UPDATE WITH CODE]

View Controller #1:

import UIKit

class FirstViewController: UIViewController {

    // Button
    @IBAction func btn(_ sender: Any) {
        performSegue(withIdentifier: "SecondView", sender: self)
    }

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
    }
}

There is then a segue added from View Controller #1 to View Controller #2 - a present modally with an identifier of "SecondView".

View Controller #2:

import UIKit

class SecondViewController: UIViewController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
    }
}

I found an answer to my question...

Here is the answer:

 private func removePartialCurlTap() {
  if let gestures = self.view.gestureRecognizers as? [UIGestureRecognizer] {
    for gesture in gestures {
      self.view.removeGestureRecognizer(gesture)
    }
  }
}

override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
  super.viewDidAppear(animated)
  removePartialCurlTap()
}

The issue seems to be the transition used for the Seque, specially when using "Partial Curl" you get this issue. I'm guessing it's a bug in Xcode / iOS, or otherwise not documented well that if you use that specific transition you need to basically remove the GestureRecognizer so the user doesn't get sent back to the previous screen when they simple click someone on the screen.

I do not konw your detail code,just offer one method to do,use EventTouch or UITapGestureRecognizer can do it，in View Controller #2: EventTouch

override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<NSObject>, withEvent event: UIEvent) {
       dismiss(animated: Bool)
}

or UITapGestureRecognizer

func handleTap(sender: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
   if sender.state == .ended {
    // handling code
    dismiss(animated: Bool)
   }
}

hope can help you.

It seems like you have a full screen UIButton or a UIGestureRecogniser triggering a dismiss(animated: Bool) or an unwind segue.

Please share your code.
