UINavigation controller UIViewController and UItoolbar as a subview issue

Question

Hey guys i am trying to leave the augmented reality and go to the next view controller of to my navigation controller

the code is from ARKit demo and i just added programmatically a UIToolbar as a subview which has an action button ..I want this button to lead to the next view controller of my existing navigation controller. the action takePicture: is executed as i have an NSLog message but the new viewcontroller is not added

this is the code of the ARGeoViewController.h

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

#import "ARViewController.h"
#import "AfterARViewController.h"


@interface ARGeoViewController : ARViewController {
CLLocation *centerLocation;
AfterARViewController *afterARViewController;

}

@property (nonatomic, retain) CLLocation *centerLocation;
- (IBAction)takePicture:(id)sender;
@property (nonatomic, retain) AfterARViewController *afterARViewController;

@end

this is the code of the ARGeoViewController.m

#import "ARGeoViewController.h"

#import "ARGeoCoordinate.h"
#import "ARViewController.h"

@implementation ARGeoViewController

@synthesize centerLocation;

@synthesize afterARViewController;


- (void)setCenterLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation {
[centerLocation release];
centerLocation = [newLocation retain];

for (ARGeoCoordinate *geoLocation in self.coordinates) {
    if ([geoLocation isKindOfClass:[ARGeoCoordinate class]]) {
        [geoLocation calibrateUsingOrigin:centerLocation];

        if (geoLocation.radialDistance > self.maximumScaleDistance) {
            self.maximumScaleDistance = geoLocation.radialDistance;
        }
    }
}

 }
   -(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated{

UIToolbar *toolbar = [UIToolbar new];
toolbar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackTranslucent;


// create a bordered style button with custom title
UIBarButtonItem *playItem = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemCamera
                                                                           target:self
                                                                           action:@selector(takePicture:)] autorelease];


NSArray *items = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: 
                  playItem,
                  nil];
toolbar.items = items;

// size up the toolbar and set its frame
// please not that it will work only for views without Navigation toolbars. 
[toolbar sizeToFit];
CGFloat toolbarHeight = [toolbar frame].size.height;
CGRect mainViewBounds = self.view.bounds;
[toolbar setFrame:CGRectMake(CGRectGetMinX(mainViewBounds),
                             CGRectGetMinY(mainViewBounds) + CGRectGetHeight(mainViewBounds) - (toolbarHeight),
                             CGRectGetWidth(mainViewBounds),
                             toolbarHeight)];

[self.view addSubview:toolbar];


}

 - (IBAction)takePicture:(id)sender
 {
NSLog(@"takepicture");
if(self.afterARViewController == nil)
{
    AfterARViewController *afterARController = [[AfterARViewController alloc]
                                                    initWithNibName:@"AfterARViewController" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
    self.afterARViewController = afterARController;
    [afterARController release];
    [cameraController release];


}

[self.navigationController pushViewController:self.afterARViewController  animated:YES];

    }


  @end

Thank you so much

I'm not experienced with ARKit, but is cameraController part of the navigation controller's stack? By releasing it when you do you might be throwing things off. Just as a test, try commenting out the line of code that releases cameraController to see if it's impacting this.

Also, FWIW I would have expected the code that your using to set up the toolbar to be in viewDidLoad, not viewDidAppear.
