Perhaps a more germane question might be, are you sure that the view controller has a relationship with any window? It is not necessary, as I understand, for a view to exist in a window. A view controller can load a view without placing it into a window, and therefore viewWillMoveToWindow: will not be called, and I suspect the “window” property would be set. Breakpoints are your friend.
