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()
}
