Instance Method

applicationDidFinishLaunching(_:)

Tells the delegate when the app has finished launching. Don’t use. Instead, use application(_:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:).

Declaration

optional func applicationDidFinishLaunching(_ application: UIApplication)

Parameters

application: Your singleton app object.

Discussion

Although not formally deprecated, do not use this method in your apps. Use the application(_:willFinishLaunchingWithOptions:) and application(_:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:) methods instead.

Your implementation of this method should create your app’s user interface and initialize the app’s data structures. If your app persists its state between launches, you would also use this method to restore your app to its previous state.

After calling this method, the app also posts a UIApplicationDidFinishLaunching notification to give interested objects a chance to respond to the initialization cycle.
