In the method I want to execute, there are a few references to nib objects but they are all set to nil after the alloc-initWithNibName:bundle:. I double-checked and the custom view controller receives the initWithNibName:bundle:. Everything works fine as long as I use pushViewController:animated:.

I was already overriding it but since the view was not initiated from the nib, viewDidLoad: would not be called.
After browsing tons of initWithNibName:bundle: links, I finally found a workaround. In the calling view controller, after the call to initWithNibName:bundle:, I call something like [customViewController view]. This seems to force the lazy loading to happen.
