Title Body

This is my first app using storyboards/segues, and I'm pretty sure the answer to this is easy, but I'll be as thorough as possible in describing my issue. I am making a simple app which has a Tab Bar Controller scene and two View Controllers. My app launches by being sent a URL from another app. The application:openURL:sourceApplication:annotation: method in the app delegate performs some work to determine which tab to display first, and what information to display on it. My goal is to use the performSegueWithIdentifier method (I'm open to alternatives though) from within the AppDelegate to select the tab, and also find a way to send a method to the instance of the view controller created by the storyboard. Issue #1 is that I can't set an identifier. When I select the tab "relationship" there are no choices available in the Attributes Inspector (it says "Not Applicable"). How do I set a name for this segue? Can I? Or is there some rule under which UITabBarController segues can't be trigger programmatically? Issue #2 is that I can't find a way to have a pointer to the view controller. Pre-Storyboard I would alloc and init a new view controller and then set it up, but here if I do that, it does not get displayed when my app launches (I think this is because Storyboard is displaying a different instance of the same view controller.) I know this post is long, but I feel like I'm missing something simple. What is it?
