Problem showing modalview on first launch

[DrJones]

Hi, i want to modally show a viewcontroller when my application launches the first time. I use NSUserDefaults for that:

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
    
    //Check if it's first lauch
    NSUserDefaults *prefs = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
    
    if (! [prefs boolForKey:@"notFirstRun"]) 
    {
        NSLog(@"First run!");
        [prefs setBool:YES forKey:@"notFirstRun"];
        
        VGLogInViewController *login = [[VGLogInViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"VGLogInViewController" bundle:nil];
        [self presentModalViewController:login animated:YES];
        [login release];
    }
}

The log is showed at first launch but the view is not presented and i can't really figure out why

So can anyone tell me or help me with this, that would be lovely

Move this to viewDidAppear. I don't think you can present a controller when the current view controller's view hasn't even appear yet.
