If you are using a storyboard and want to set your rootViewController programmatically, first make sure the ViewController has a Storyboard ID in the Identity Inspector. Then in the AppDelegate do the following:

func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {     // get your storyboard    let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)     // instantiate your desired ViewController    let rootController = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("MyViewController") as! UIViewController     // Because self.window is an optional you should check it's value first and assign your rootViewController    if let window = self.window {       window.rootViewController = rootController    }     return true }
