Description

Don't know where the fault lies but in case it helps someone else

Demo:
https://github.com/jvcleave/OF_iOS_Fbo_issue

If your app uses ofFbo and you try and present your ofxiOSViewController with
[self.window.rootViewController presentViewController:appViewController animated:NO completion:NULL]

ofFbo stops working. More bizarre is that other drawing still works (e.g. ofDrawBitmapString) UNLESS you touch the fbo at all (e.g. ofFbo::begin, ofFbo::end)

as the demo project shows pushing the view controller and hiding the navigationBar is a workaround

[self.navigationController pushViewController:appViewController animated:NO]; self.navigationController.navigationBar.hidden = YES;

Research direction

Start with the linked demo project and reproduce the failure after presenting ofxiOSViewController with presentViewController:. Compare behavior when ofFbo::begin or ofFbo::end is called with the documented pushViewController workaround; the issue is done when the cause is identified and ofFbo rendering works in the affected presentation path.
