SKNavigationController

SKNavigationController is a very, very basic clone of UINavigationController, that uses UIViewController containment for appearance management (viewDidAppear:, etc) and rotation management (willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:, etc).

Things it does correctly

• Adds its child subviews to itself in an internally consistent way using the iOS 5 view controller containment APIs, and all the things you get for free with that, such as:
  • Rotation method forwarding
  • Appearance method forwarding
  • Memory warning forwarding
  • parentViewController property being set properly
  • isMovingFromParentViewController and company
• Animates from states to state

Things it does not do correctly

• popToViewController:animated: and popToRootViewControllerAnimated:
• Hiding and showing navigation bars
• Navigation more than two levels deep (possibly: it hasn't been tested, but it should work)
• Many other behaviors you might expect from a real navigation controller.

Other notes

SKNavigationController is written with ARC.

It is SO not ready for production.
