Creating and Removing UIViews Programmatically

I am learning how to manipulate view displays programmatically, I manage to display a new view in my appDelegate with the following block of code:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {    

UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] init];
loginController = [[LoginController alloc] init];
[navController pushViewController:loginController animated:NO];
[self.window addSubview:navController.view];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];

return YES; }

I have added a button in this view that will remove this current view and supposedly programmatically display a new view, however, I only managed to remove the view and not display the new view.

my code to display the second view is the following:

HomeController *homeView = [[HomeController alloc] init];
        [self.window addSubview:homeView.view];
        [homeView.view release];

Please advise.. I've been searching for hours to no avail, using Switch Views Programmatically, iPhone Views, removeSuperview..

Basically I want to create a simple login flow, at app start I will display my first view (login form), after successful login I want to discard the old view and display the second view which is my home page.

You are on the right track with using the UINavigationController. In fact, you are almost there.

You already have two view controllers - one for the login page, and one for the home page. In the didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:, push both controllers onto the UINavigationController's stack: first the "home" controller, then the "login" one. Once the login controller detects that the login has been successful, call popViewControllerAnimated: or popToRootViewControllerAnimated: to get to the home page.
