Programmatically set rootViewcontroller for UINavigationcontroller in Storyboard in Appdelegate

Question

I have a value in NSUserdefaults. I am using storyboard, it is embedded in UINavigationController.

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
     if([[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]objectForKey:@"isLoggedIn"]){
         //show home page here
        }else{
           // show login view
        }
}

I can open the app using a URL also

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application handleOpenURL:(NSURL *)url {
         NSString *text = [[url host] stringByReplacingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

         if(text.length > 0){
           // show home page 

         }else {
          // show settings page
        }

        return YES;
}

How can I set the rootViewController for the UINavigationController based on the value that is retrieved .Can anyone please help me out?

You can create an object of UINavigationController with your ViewController as per if/else condition and set the navigation controller as rootViewController property of window in AppDelegate as follows:

LoginViewController *loginController = [[UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil] instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"loginController"]; //or the homeController
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:loginController];
self.window.rootViewController = navController;
