Dynamic storyboard redirect on XCode 8 with SWIFT 3

Question

Using SWIFT 3 on XCode 8, is there a way to redirect the app to your Custom Storyboard without renaming the field "Main storyboard file base name" on info.plist file?

Answer 1

You can redirect your app to your custom storyboard via the AppDelegate, so you don't have to care about the "Main storyboard file base name" on info.plist file.

You need to get the instance of the initial View Controller of your custom storyboard and then call:

guard let window = UIApplication.shared.delegate?.window! else { return }
window.makeKeyAndVisible()
window.rootViewController = yourCustomViewControllerInstance

This can be called inside application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?)

Hope it helps.
