How to go from one view controller in One storyboard to another viewcontroller in another storyboard programmatically?

Question

I have a view controller A in the Storyboard named "X" in it i have a button . On clicking it I am checking the success response for the API and after that I need to navigate to the view controller B in the storyboard "B" .

I am using the code:

let loginstoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Login", bundle: nil)
let loginController = loginstoryboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "login") as? LoginViewController
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(loginController!, animated: true)

So it is not working for me. What is the issue?

check if the storyboard and viewcontroller identifier names are correct — Suhit Patil, Jul 11 '17 at 08:25
add the code where you are calling API and handing response as well — Suhit Patil, Jul 11 '17 at 08:27

Does view controller A belong to a NavigationController in Storyboard? — Yun CHEN, Jul 11 '17 at 08:36
Check if none of them are nil like loginstoryboard,logincontroller and navigationcontroller,if you are making API call in background thread,then put above code in main thread — iosdev1111, Jul 11 '17 at 08:38
Just check: -> if you have a login.storyBoard -> self.navigationController is valid means does it belongs here. — iCoder4777, Jul 11 '17 at 09:43

Please follow below steps.

Check your both view controllers StoryboardID (If Storyboard ID is already inserted then skip step 2).
Insert View controller StoryboardID

Please check sample image of StoryboardID

Sample Code

   UIStoryboard *storyBoard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:"YourStoryBoardName" bundle:nil];
   UIViewController  *loginViewController = [storyBoard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:"LoginViewController"];
   // If Login View Controller is not a Navigation Controller then you need to create Navigation Controller
   UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:loginViewController];
   [self.navigationController pushViewController:viewController animated:true];

You can create reference of your story board programmatically below thenceforth instantiate viewcontroller using its storyboard id.

 let loginstoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Login", bundle: nil)

In Storyboard You can even reference a view controller in an external storyboard.Refer @bshirley ans for detailed explanation.
