# UISceneConfigurations

The default configuration details the system uses to create new scenes.

## Discussion

The keys in the dictionary correspond to the roles played by your scenes.

[`UISceneConfigurations`](/documentation/BundleResources/Information-Property-List/UIApplicationSceneManifest/UISceneConfigurations) supports the following keys:

- [`UIWindowSceneSessionRoleApplication`](/documentation/BundleResources/Information-Property-List/UIApplicationSceneManifest/UISceneConfigurations/UIWindowSceneSessionRoleApplication)
- [`UIWindowSceneSessionRoleExternalDisplayNonInteractive`](/documentation/BundleResources/Information-Property-List/UIApplicationSceneManifest/UISceneConfigurations/UIWindowSceneSessionRoleExternalDisplayNonInteractive)

For visionOS apps, it also supports:

- [`UISceneSessionRoleImmersiveSpaceApplication`](/documentation/BundleResources/Information-Property-List/UIApplicationSceneManifest/UISceneConfigurations/UISceneSessionRoleImmersiveSpaceApplication)
- [`CPSceneSessionRoleImmersiveSpaceApplication`](/documentation/BundleResources/Information-Property-List/UIApplicationSceneManifest/UISceneConfigurations/CPSceneSessionRoleImmersiveSpaceApplication)

For applications with <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/CarPlay> capabilities, it also supports these additional keys:

- [`CPTemplateApplicationSceneSessionRoleApplication`](/documentation/BundleResources/Information-Property-List/UIApplicationSceneManifest/UISceneConfigurations/CPTemplateApplicationSceneSessionRoleApplication)
- [`CPTemplateApplicationDashboardSceneSessionRoleApplication`](/documentation/BundleResources/Information-Property-List/UIApplicationSceneManifest/UISceneConfigurations/CPTemplateApplicationDashboardSceneSessionRoleApplication)
- [`CPTemplateApplicationInstrumentClusterSceneSessionRoleApplication`](/documentation/BundleResources/Information-Property-List/UIApplicationSceneManifest/UISceneConfigurations/CPTemplateApplicationInstrumentClusterSceneSessionRoleApplication)

> Note:
> If you don’t include this key in your `Info.plist` file, you must implement the <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/UIKit/UIApplicationDelegate/application(_:configurationForConnecting:options:)> method in your app delegate.
