You could put these configurations in the REFrostedViewController
subclass. For example (supposing you are using storyboards), you could configure the menu right below the view controllers assignment, e.g. (but, remember, you can put the config everywhere in the REFrostedViewController initialization code)
- (void)awakeFromNib
{
self.contentViewController = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"contentViewController"];
self.menuViewController = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"menuViewController"];
self.limitMenuViewSize = YES;
self.menuViewSize = CGSizeMake(200.0, [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.height);
}
Doing this configuration in the MenuViewController viewDidLoad
method causes the config to be applied only AFTER the menu view is loaded for the first time, and so your changes show up only the second time.
Just put the code in the REFrostedViewController
subclass (or even in the contentViewController you are using) and you should be fine.
