presentModalViewController in iOS6

Question

In my app's code I am still presenting viewcontrollers modally with presentModalViewController. This is deprecated in iOS 6. Does that mean this method has no effect on devices running iOS 6?

If yes, how can I make my app present viewcontrollers modally on iOS 6? My Xcode version does not support iOS 6, so all new methods in iOS 6 are unavailable to me.

If you have

[self presentModalViewController:aController animated:YES];

change it to

[self presentViewController:aController animated:YES completion:nil];

Deprecated means that you shouldn't use this method anymore. It still works, but it might be completely removed in one of the next updates.

For displaying view controllers modally, you can use the new -presentViewController:animated:completion: method introduced in iOS 5.0.
For dismissing the new method is -dismissViewControllerAnimated:completion:.

I think the dismiss is `-dismissViewControllerAnimated:completion:`. – Philippe Chaintreuil Dec 26 '14 at 17:03

`-presentModalViewController:animated` should be replaced by `-presentViewController:animated:completion:` – Fabian Kreiser Aug 03 '15 at 16:41
