viewWillAppear will not!

Question

Hi!

I have a UITableViewController where I want to avail of viewWillAppear, but it isn't firing for me.

I suspected I had the delegate assigned incorrectly until I found viewDidLoad is firing fine. I'm trying to resolve it all day, and have a work around as you can see below, but I'm not going to get any sleep tonight until I figure out why it's not being called :-)

At a glance, have any of ye got the answer?

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    [self performSelector:@selector(selectDefaultRow) withObject:nil afterDelay:0];
}

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
    [self selectDefaultRow];
}

Many Thanks for your time.

Chris
