You have to declare both storyboard in struct and, each VC should conforms to Instantiatable protocol.

class ProfileVC: UIViewController, Instantiatable {
	static var storyboard: Storyboard = .profile
}
class ChatVC: UIViewController, Instantiatable {
	static var storyboard: Storyboard = .chat
}
let viewController = ProfileVC.instantiate()
navigationController?.pushViewController(viewController, animate: true)
