I am developing SDK and swizzling viewDidAppear.
I have a customer who implements a custom TabBar Navigation where VC's are added to the hierarchy on the first load, and then, he changes the opacity to the currently displayed tab so the next time the user sees the tab - viewDidAppear isn't called, so my code isn't called.
I'm attaching a sample project which reproduces that.
Is there any way to trigger ViewDidAppear intentionally?
If yes, what can be the side effect of doing that?
Do I have any other alternative in this case?
