With this shortcode example, I am going to share with you how to navigate to a different ViewController from AppDelegate.swift file.

The steps are as follows:

• Create an instance of UIStoryboard,

  let mainStoryboard:UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)

  Note the name of the storyboard I am using. The “Main” is the default name of your storyboard when you create a project. If you rename your storyboard to a different name, you will have to use a different name then in the line above.

• Instantiate View Controller with Identifier,

  let homePage = mainStoryboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "HomeViewController") as! HomeViewController

  The “HomeViewController” identifier I am using in the code line above is the identifier of the ViewController I have created on my Storyboard. Use the identifier if your ViewController you want to navigate to.

• Set the Root View Controller of your app’s window to a different one

  self.window?.rootViewController = homePage

  Now I am setting the rootViewController of my app’s window object to a view controller I need to navigate.

  Below is a complete code example of how to go take user from AppDelegate to a different ViewController.

From AppDelegate.swift to a Different ViewController

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
     // Override point for customization after application launch.
 
    
      // Take user to a home page
         let mainStoryboard:UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
         let homePage = mainStoryboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "HomeViewController") as! HomeViewController
         self.window?.rootViewController = homePage
    
   
     return true
 }
