From the examples I've seen unwind segue needs a view controller to unwind to. If i just want to go back one controller in my storyboard is there a simple command for this?

How did you go "forward" to that view controller? – jrturton Apr 08 '14 at 10:45

@michael - this example requires specific destination segues – Jeef Apr 08 '14 at 10:52

@jturnton I used preformseguewithidentifier to go forward or I just used a segue created in IB. I don't keep track of previous view controller however – Jeef Apr 08 '14 at 10:52

which type of segue are you using? push, custom or any other? – Atul Apr 08 '14 at 11:11

Maybe I'm looking at this wrong -> I just want to programmatically hit the back button basically. – Jeef Apr 08 '14 at 11:15

You're not looking at it wrong, you just didn't explain it very well :) Answered now. – jrturton Apr 08 '14 at 11:18

If you've pushed onto a navigation controller (push segues, with a visible back button) then you use this code to go back:
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
If you've used modal segues, use this:
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
In both cases self is the currently visible view controller.

1Just in case anyone needs it, `dismissViewControllerAnimated` doesn't (at least, for me) work for **custom segues**. Use `self.performSegueWithIdentifier("idCustomSegueUnwind", sender: self)`. Does anyone know how my custom segue will be performed when `dismissViewControllerAnimated` is called? – ton Nov 20 '15 at 03:40

In the newest version of swift it will work like this:
dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
Assuming you call this in the view controller script.
