3D touch to UITabView - ios

Question

I am using a tabViewController and want to know how I can make a 3D touch action from the home screen bring up a tab. I already have the code but can't seem to get a specific tab to show up; I can only get a window. My AppDelagate.swift is below. Any help?
enum ShortcutIdentifier: String
{
case First
case Second
init?(fullType: String)
{
guard let last = fullType.componentsSeparatedByString(".").last else {return nil}
self.init(rawValue: last)
}
var type: String
{
return NSBundle.mainBundle().bundleIdentifier! + ".\(self.rawValue)"
}
}
func handleShortcutItem(shortcutItem: UIApplicationShortcutItem) -> Bool
{
var handled = false
guard ShortcutIdentifier(fullType: shortcutItem.type) != nil else {return false}
guard let shortcutType = shortcutItem.type as String? else {return false}
switch (shortcutType)
{
case ShortcutIdentifier.First.type:
handled = true
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let navVC = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("sourcesview") as! UINavigationController
if let tabBarController = navVC.topViewController as? UITabBarController {
tabBarController.selectedIndex = 4
}
self.window?.rootViewController?.presentViewController(navVC, animated: true, completion: nil)
break
case ShortcutIdentifier.Second.type:
handled = true
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let navVC = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("searchview") as! UINavigationController
self.window?.rootViewController?.presentViewController(navVC, animated: true, completion: nil)
break
default:
break
}
return handled
}

You have to set the selectedTab property on your UITabBarController. I assume that the UINavigationController that you load from the nib contains a UITabBarController as top view controller, so after loading the navigation controller from the nib you have to access the tab bar controller and set the selected tab property to the desired tab.
switch (shortcutType)
{
case ShortcutIdentifier.First.type:
handled = true
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let navVC = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("sourcesview") as! UINavigationController
if let tabBarController = navVC.topViewController as? UITabBarController {
tabBarController.selectedIndex = 1
}
self.window?.rootViewController?.presentViewController(navVC, animated: true, completion: nil)
break
...
}
