Cross dissolve transition required without using segue

Question

I want to use the Cross Dissolve transition but not by using a segue. I use the code below to present the new view when a button is pressed but the transition is Cover Vertical. Is there any way of changing this?

ObViewControllerMonitorMenu *monitorMenuViewController = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"observationSummary"];
monitorMenuViewController.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve;
[self presentViewController:monitorMenuViewController animated:YES completion:nil];

The code above now works with the additional line to set the transition type.

Please take a look at the documentation to see the list of transition style while presenting a view controller modally, especially at the section Presenting View Controllers:

(Swift Answer)

And then you can set the modalTransitionStyle property of the view controller to the desired value, in which what you want is UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve.
