I had an old project that I was working which doesn't has the sceneDelegate. My AppDelegate didFinishLaunchingWithOptions looks like :
import Firebase
import customFramework
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
FirebaseApp.configure()
// Create window
window = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)
window?.rootViewController = ViewController()
window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
customFrameworkManager.shared.start()
return true
}
.
.
.
I wanted to transform this code and hence decided to create a new fresh project but now there is an implementation of scene Delegate instead. I tried changing my func scene (willConnectTo) which looked like :
func scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession, options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) {
// Use this method to optionally configure and attach the UIWindow `window` to the provided UIWindowScene `scene`.
// If using a storyboard, the `window` property will automatically be initialized and attached to the scene.
// This delegate does not imply the connecting scene or session are new (see `application:configurationForConnectingSceneSession` instead).
guard let _ = (scene as? UIWindowScene) else { return }
if let windowScene = scene as? UIWindowScene {
self.window = UIWindow(windowScene: windowScene)
self.window!.makeKeyAndVisible()
}
customFrameworkManager.shared.start()
}
But the customFramework is not launching in on the application. Can anyone suggest what wrong am I doing here. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
In your sceneDelegate I don't see the rootViewController, try like this:
guard let windowScene = (scene as? UIWindowScene) else { return }
let window = UIWindow(windowScene: windowScene)
let controller = ViewController()
window.rootViewController = controller
self.window = window
window.makeKeyAndVisible()
customFrameworkManager.shared.start()

I developed an app with firebase. The application checks to see if any users are logged in every boot in sceneDelegate.swift file. But its works only iOS 13 devices. iOS 12 devices users has to log in every time. How can I fix this problem? Thanks.
class SceneDelegate: UIResponder, UIWindowSceneDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
#available(iOS 13.0, *)
func scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession, options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) {
// Use this method to optionally configure and attach the UIWindow `window` to the provided UIWindowScene `scene`.
// If using a storyboard, the `window` property will automatically be initialized and attached to the scene.
// This delegate does not imply the connecting scene or session are new (see `application:configurationForConnectingSceneSession` instead).
let currentUser = Auth.auth().currentUser
if currentUser != nil {
let board = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let navigationController = board.instantiateViewController(identifier: "navigationController") as! UINavigationController
window?.rootViewController = navigationController
}
guard let _ = (scene as? UIWindowScene) else { return }
}
SceneDelegate was introduced in iOS 13. For iOS 12 and below you should implement this same logic in the AppDelegate's didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method like this:
#UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
window = UIWindow()
window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
let currentUser = Auth.auth().currentUser
if currentUser != nil {
let board = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let navigationController = board.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "navigationController") as! UINavigationController
window?.rootViewController = navigationController
}
return true
}
}
I want to show a ViewController in my app without using a storyboard entry point.
I made sure that the default storyboard entry point is deleted and that the storyboard id and name is correct. Still everything I get is just a black screen when running the app on the simulator.
Here is my AppDelegate.swift file.
import UIKit
#UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
// Override point for customization after application launch.
window = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)
let sb = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let initialViewController = sb.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "VC")
window?.rootViewController = initialViewController
window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
return true
}
// MARK: UISceneSession Lifecycle
func application(_ application: UIApplication, configurationForConnecting connectingSceneSession: UISceneSession, options: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) -> UISceneConfiguration {
// Called when a new scene session is being created.
// Use this method to select a configuration to create the new scene with.
return UISceneConfiguration(name: "Default Configuration", sessionRole: connectingSceneSession.role)
}
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didDiscardSceneSessions sceneSessions: Set<UISceneSession>) {
// Called when the user discards a scene session.
// If any sessions were discarded while the application was not running, this will be called shortly after application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions.
// Use this method to release any resources that were specific to the discarded scenes, as they will not return.
}
}
Every kind of help is appreciated.
It's a little bit different with the SceneDelegate that with the application delegate. You use a UIWindowScene to construct your UIWindow.
let sb = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let initialViewController = sb.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "VC")
if let windowScene = scene as? UIWindowScene {
let window = UIWindow(windowScene: windowScene)
window.rootViewController = initialViewController
self.window = window
window.makeKeyAndVisible()
}
If you are using Viewcontrollers and xcode 11.3.1 or later, follow these steps after create new project.
Remove Application Scene Manifest from info.plist
Delete SceneDelegate.swift file
Remove Swift UI related methods from AppDelegate file.
Delete ContentView.swift file
Create new ViewController file
File>New>Cocoa Touch Class
set our MainViewController at AppDelegate file.
Add this
window = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)
window!.rootViewController = MainViewController()
window!.makeKeyAndVisible()
window?.rootViewController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: MainViewController())
I have been trying to learn the Coordinator pattern by creating a new app on Xcode 11.2 using Storyboards as Interface design.
I followed this video by Paul Hudson but I got stuck at minute 12 when code needed to be added to the AppDelegate.swift file. Like it is the app will launch, the first view controller will show but it will not navigate.
What should I change or, better, where should I move the present code to make it work?
Whole project can be found here.
In short the code that in iOS 12 and before was in AppDelegate is this:
var coordinator: MainCoordinator?
var window: UIWindow?
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
let navController = UINavigationController()
coordinator = MainCoordinator(navigationController: navController)
coordinator?.start()
window = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)
window?.rootViewController = navController
window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
return true
}
I have seen that now window is in SceneDelegate but moving everything there to the sceneDidConnect method is not helping.
Can someone enlighten me here?
Thanks!
So a few changes have to be made to be able to implement this pattern. Firstly, you should restore your AppDelegate to it's initial format on creation:
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
return true
}
You can remove the var coordinator: MainCoordinator? declaration at the top.
In SceneDelegate replace the code in the sceneWillConnectToSession function with the following:
func scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession, options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) {
guard let windowScene = (scene as? UIWindowScene) else { return }
let navController = UINavigationController()
let coordinator = MainCoordinator(navigationController: navController)
coordinator.start()
let window = UIWindow(windowScene: windowScene)
window.rootViewController = navController
self.window = window
window.makeKeyAndVisible()
}
The final change is that I removed the weak declaration for MainCoordinator in your view controllers.
So I just replaced it with var coordinator: MainCoordinator?, and then it worked.

Why is manually setup root view controller showing black screen?

Closed 3 years ago.
I want to initialize window inside appDelegate to show specific ViewController depend on some cases. Now I have this code:
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
// Override point for customization after application launch.
window = UIWindow()
let rootNavigationController = UIViewController()
window?.rootViewController = rootNavigationController
window?.rootViewController?.view.backgroundColor = .green
window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
return true
}
// MARK: UISceneSession Lifecycle
func application(_ application: UIApplication, configurationForConnecting connectingSceneSession: UISceneSession, options: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) -> UISceneConfiguration {
// Called when a new scene session is being created.
// Use this method to select a configuration to create the new scene with.
return UISceneConfiguration(name: "Default Configuration", sessionRole: connectingSceneSession.role)
}
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didDiscardSceneSessions sceneSessions: Set<UISceneSession>) {
// Called when the user discards a scene session.
// If any sessions were discarded while the application was not running, this will be called shortly after application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions.
// Use this method to release any resources that were specific to the discarded scenes, as they will not return.
}
}
I'm using XCode11 and have created new project. SceneDelegate file I removed cause it hasn't effect on this. Also removed Main from Info.plist and from deployment info
As result on device I see black screen but debugger show me that rootNavigationController as should be
image from debugger
How fix it or implement this logic for XCode11?
Solution:
1)Inside manifest(plist) file remove Storyboard Name field
2)inside SceneDelegate.swift implement:
func scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession, options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) {
// Use this method to optionally configure and attach the UIWindow `window` to the provided UIWindowScene `scene`.
// If using a storyboard, the `window` property will automatically be initialized and attached to the scene.
// This delegate does not imply the connecting scene or session are new (see `application:configurationForConnectingSceneSession` instead).
guard let windowScene = (scene as? UIWindowScene) else { return }
window = UIWindow(windowScene: windowScene)
let rootNavigationController = UIViewController()
window?.rootViewController = rootNavigationController
window?.rootViewController?.view.backgroundColor = .green
window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
}
And it will work for ios 13 , if you want support ios 12 and lower you need also implement this logic in AppDelegate
After upgrading Xcode a critical part of my application has stopped working.
When my app launches I run a function to check boolean flags and set the correct rootViewController.
But the code I have been using to set this has now stopped working
class func setLoginAsInitialViewContoller(window:UIWindow) {
print("SET LOGIN")
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Login", bundle: nil)
let controller = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "LoginViewController")
controller.modalPresentationStyle = .overFullScreen
window.rootViewController = controller
window.makeKeyAndVisible()
}
Specifically when the app gets the the second last line window.rootViewController = controller it crashes with a libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException error.
The above function is in a class called Utilities.swift and I am calling the function from within my AppDelegate.swift as shown below:
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
var storyboard: UIStoryboard? = nil
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
UIApplication.shared.isIdleTimerDisabled = true
Utilities.decideInitialViewController(window: self.window!)
return true
}
Any solutions or fixes on how I can set the root controller is much appreciated.
Thank!
This is because AppDelegate doesn't have window property anymore.
Now you must use SceneDelegate's scene(_:willConnectTo:options:) method to change root view controller.
Like shown in this example:
func scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession, options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) {
guard let scene = (scene as? UIWindowScene) else { return }
// Instantiate UIWindow with scene
let window = UIWindow(windowScene: scene)
// Assign window to SceneDelegate window property
self.window = window
// Set initial view controller from Main storyboard as root view controller of UIWindow
self.window?.rootViewController = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil).instantiateInitialViewController()
// Present window to screen
self.window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
}
It is available in SceneDelegate.swift file in your project
It will have delegate method :
func scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession,
options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions)
Example
func scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession,
options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) {
if let windowScene = scene as? UIWindowScene {
self.window = UIWindow(windowScene: windowScene)
let initialViewController =
storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "FirstViewController")
self.window!.rootViewController = initialViewController
self.window!.makeKeyAndVisible()
}
}
In viewDidAppear you can set root:-
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
print(self.view.window)
let vc = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(identifier: "SecondViewController") as? SecondViewController
self.view.window?.rootViewController = vc
}
For anyone looking to create a couple of extensions to change the root view controller and need to support both delegate types (UISceneDelegate and AppDelegate), here's a couple:
extension UIViewController {
var appDelegate: AppDelegate {
return UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate
}
var sceneDelegate: SceneDelegate? {
guard let windowScene = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first as? UIWindowScene,
let delegate = windowScene.delegate as? SceneDelegate else { return nil }
return delegate
}
}
And if you're in need of an extension to reach the UIWindow from a ViewController with iOS12 and iOS13 Support:
extension UIViewController {
var window: UIWindow? {
if #available(iOS 13, *) {
guard let windowScene = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first as? UIWindowScene,
let delegate = windowScene.delegate as? SceneDelegate, let window = delegate.window else { return nil }
return window
}
guard let delegate = UIApplication.shared.delegate as? AppDelegate, let window = delegate.window else { return nil }
return window
}
}
If you want to use ScenceDelegate. In scene(_:willConnectTo:options:, creates a new UIWindow, sets the window’s rootViewController and makes this window the key window.
If you don't want to use ScenceDelegate, you can try to remove it by following this.
