`enum` type always getting `0` while passing it as parameter from one viewController to another

This is my enum :

typedef enum {
    ViewControllerNameSignUpViewController,
    ViewControllerNameForgotPasswordViewController,
    ViewControllerNameProfileViewController,
} ViewControllerName;

I want to send ViewControllerName from my LeftMenuViewController to HomeViewController

Code of LeftMenuViewController :

HomeViewController *controller = [HomeViewController initViewControllerWithFurtherNavigationFor:ViewControllerNameProfileViewController];
UINavigationController *navController = (UINavigationController *)self.revealViewController.frontViewController;
[navController setViewControllers:@[controller] animated:NO];
[self.revealViewController setFrontViewPosition:FrontViewPositionLeft animated:YES];

Code of HomeViewController :

@property (assign, nonatomic) ViewControllerName viewControllerName;

+ (instancetype)initViewControllerWithFurtherNavigationFor:(ViewControllerName)viewControllerName
{
    UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"Main" bundle:nil];
    HomeViewController *controller = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:kHomeViewControllerID];

    if (controller) {
        controller.viewControllerName = viewControllerName;
    }

    return controller;
}

Here controller.viewControllerName is getting the parameter perfectly, which is 2. But when I check it from viewDidLoad, it is always getting 0 :

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    [self leftMenuButtonInitialization];
    [self initialViewSetUp];
    [self furtherNavigation];
}

- (void)furtherNavigation
{
    if (self.viewControllerName == ViewControllerNameProfileViewController) {
        ProfileViewController *controller = [ProfileViewController initViewController];
        [controller presentViewController:controller animated:YES completion:nil];
    }
}

Here, self.viewControllerName always 0. When I set the value in my initViewController, Isn't it that I can access it as self.viewControllerName though out the class? Or I am missing something?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Solution

After digging through 1 hour, I have found the alternative. The Problem may be relay on the calling method of initViewControllerWithFurtherNavigationFor.

I have called that method in - (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender with ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:@"goToProfileViewController"]) using segue. So I don't have to instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier again. I can simply introduce it as destinationViewController. And then can pass any associated parameter with it. So instead of using this code :

- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
    if ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:@"goToProfileViewController"]) {
    HomeViewController *controller = [HomeViewController initViewControllerWithFurtherNavigationFor:ViewControllerNameProfileViewController];
    UINavigationController *navController = (UINavigationController *)self.revealViewController.frontViewController;
    [navController setViewControllers:@[controller] animated:NO];
    [self.revealViewController setFrontViewPosition:FrontViewPositionLeft animated:YES];
    }
}

Use this :

- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
    if ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:@"goToProfileViewController"]) {
    HomeViewController *controller = [segue destinationViewController];
    controller.viewControllerName = ViewControllerNameProfileViewController;
    }
}

Hope it will help for this kind of problem. :)
