Tab bar controller disappears after a segue

My app consists of the following views:

  • Tab bar Controller
  • First View Controller with a Map View
  • Table View Controller

The simplified idea is that when a user clicks on a cell in the Table View, a new view with a Map opens.

I used following code for the segue:

``` override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) { self.performSegueWithIdentifier("findPlace", sender: indexPath) }

I also created a segue between the Table View and the First View Controller and named it "findPlace".

My problem is that when the segue triggers, the map opens, but the tab bar controller disappears. 

Any idea why it happens and how can i fix it?

Thanks in advance!

My best guess is that your mapView will indeed cover the tableview although it's a shot in the dark without seeing more of your code, like the way the way your view controllers are set out.

dungeonkeeperhf I did not do any additional set up programmatically. Here is how my storyboard looks like:

When i simply use the tab bar it properly switches between the views, but the tab bar disappears as soon as the segue is triggered.
