Answer 1

You can try removing the subviews and the root view before assigning the new root view controller

       for (UIView* subView in self.window.rootViewController.view.subviews) 
      {
          [subView removeFromSuperview];
      }

      [self.window.rootViewController.view removeFromSuperview];

This is apparently a know issue in iOS You can see the Detailed Description here
