Thanks for the very complete answer!

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I've created an IOS app that has two view controllers. The first view controller loads fairly quickly when you first open the app but when I push to the second view controller it takes around ten seconds to load.<br />
<br />
As it is right now, once I push the button to switch to the next view controller, the app appears to freeze and the button remains highlighted allowing no user interaction with the app. I would like to have an animated loading screen displayed while the view controller is loading so that the user doesn't think the app is freezing up.<br />
<br />
I've looked online for ways to preload the VC so I can display the loading screen in VC1 while VC2 is loading and then push to VC2 but haven't found anything like that. <br />
<br />
Right now all of the audio files are what is causing most of the load time. I have all of the audio files being loaded in the viewDidLoad. I've looked for a way to display something in the view controller before the viewDidLoad but haven't found anything. <br />
<br />
Any help you can give would be appricieated. Thanks.

Loading screen IOS

The iPhone is a smartphone made by Apple Inc. It and the iPad, along with several other mobile devices from Apple, run on the iOS operating system, which has its own topic, as does the iPad for device-specific questions. Native iOS applications are written in Objective-C or in Swift using the Cocoa Touch frameworks or HTML5 compiled with the help of a package manager such as Adobe PhoneGap; a common IDE is Xcode.

iOS is a mobile operating system developed by Apple; it is a derivative of the Mac OS X desktop operating system, with which it shares many (but not all) common frameworks and other components. These include Cocoa Touch, the Mach/Darwin/XNU kernel and code from the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD). Each iOS application runs in its own secure sandbox to prevent altering other applications, the operating system, or any other data.
