If you run your project on earlier than iOS 13.0, in that case you will face the problem. Because of iOS 13 and later, app launch differently than earlier versions.
In iOS 13 and later, use UISceneDelegate objects to respond to life-cycle events in a scene-based app
In iOS 12 and earlier, use the UIApplicationDelegate object to respond to life-cycle events.
When you launch the app in iOS 12 and earlier then UIApplicationMain class expect a window property in your AppDelegate class as like SceneDelegate has. So your problem will be solved if you add the following line in your AppDelegate class.
import UIKit
@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
// Override point for customization after application launch.
return true
}
// MARK: UISceneSession Lifecycle
@available(iOS 13.0, *)
func application(_ application: UIApplication, configurationForConnecting connectingSceneSession: UISceneSession, options: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) -> UISceneConfiguration {
// Called when a new scene session is being created.
// Use this method to select a configuration to create the new scene with.
return UISceneConfiguration(name: "Default Configuration", sessionRole: connectingSceneSession.role)
}
@available(iOS 13.0, *)
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didDiscardSceneSessions sceneSessions: Set<UISceneSession>) {
// Called when the user discards a scene session.
// If any sessions were discarded while the application was not running, this will be called shortly after application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions.
// Use this method to release any resources that were specific to the discarded scenes, as they will not return.
}
}
Long ago answered, but to help understand the questions above about why simply adding the window property solves the problem, note that the app delegate conforms to the UIApplicationDelegate protocol which defines a property, @property (nullable, nonatomic, strong) UIWindow *window; that classes need to provide to specify the window to use when presenting a storyboard. Failure to provide that is causing the Xcode log warnings.
Add the following window declaration in Appdelegate file
@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
var window:UIWindow?
...
Implementation of this property is required if your app’s Info.plist file contains the UIMainStoryboardFile key.
The default value of this synthesized property is nil, which causes the app to create a generic UIWindow object and assign it to the property. If you want to provide a custom window for your app, you must implement the getter method of this property and use it to create and return your custom window.
