I think the ViewController is deprecated in v4

What for you would need it? If you need it to close a modal for example, you could use the ModalController instead. Same for PopoverController

this.viewController.dismiss() ===> this.modalController.dismiss()
this.viewController.dismiss() ===> this.popoverController.dismiss()

Thanks it works. I thought you could only dismiss the modal from the component which created the modal.
