Passing Data Between View Controllers in iOS: A Comparative Analysis of `NSUserDefaults` and Classes
Understanding the Problem When creating a user setup account with multiple view controllers in a storyboard, it’s common to want to pass data between them. In the question provided, the developer is frustrated with using prepareForSegue as the only solution, which requires passing information through each segue. This can lead to unnecessary complexity and data duplication. The Limitations of prepareForSegue In iOS development, when a view controller segues to another one, Apple provides a built-in method called prepareForSegue.
