How do I tap the back button when testing a UITableViewController in KIF?

I tried for the longest time to click the back button, but I couldn’t reference it using an accessibilityLabel. I found that you need the navigation controller to pop the top view controller.

In the it block:

[nav popViewControllerAnimated:YES];

To get the navigation controller add these lines

In the beforeAll block:

UIWindow *window = [UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow;
nav = ((UINavigationController*)window.rootViewController);

Since the navigation controller needs to be declared throughout the whole test. Declare a navigation controller

Between the first describe statement and the beforeAll block:

__block UINavigationController *nav;
