Tab Bar, pop to root view controller(default vc) when coming from another tab's view controller

Okay. It seems pretty easy for some of you guys but I have been facing this issue since very long.

My problem is this:

--> I have 5 tab bar controllers each consisting navigation controllers.

--> Now I have multiple view controllers attached to each tab bar controller like this:

Tab1 -- VCa -> VCb -> VCc

Tab2 -- VCd -> VCe -> VCf

Tab3 -- VCg -> VCh -> VCi

Tab4 -- VCj -> VCk -> VCl

Tab5 -- VCm -> VCn -> VCo

--> When I launch My app and select Tab2, then I navigate to VCd -> VCe -> VCf

--> Now I select Tab5, then I navigate to VCm -> VCn and here I have a button that navigates me back to Tab2.

Tab5, On a button click in VCn

self.tabBarController?.selectedIndex = 1 // Navigate back to Tab2

--> Now here is the issue. I am navigated to Tab2(VCf) successfully. But My problem is that I wish to show default(first/initial) Tab2(VCd).

So how can I go with it?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in anticipation. :)

It looks like you can change the root view controllers for each tab using setViewControllers.

So something like,

let rootViewControllers = [VCa, VCd, VCg, VCj, VCm]
self.tabBarController.setViewControllers(rootViewControllers, animated: false)

guard let controllers = tabBarController?.viewControllers, 
      let controller = controllers[1] as? UINavigationController else { return }
controller.popToRootViewController(animated: false)

The easiest way to solve this is to reach into the navigation stack, grab the UINavigationController inside tab 2, and make it pop back to the root view.

self.tabBarController?.selectedIndex = 1 
(self.tabBarController?.viewControllers[1] as? UINavigationController)?.popToRootViewController(animated: false)

Note however, that this might fail if you ever change the navigation structure.
