# applicationFinishedRestoringState()

Called on restored view controllers after other object decoding is complete.

```
func applicationFinishedRestoringState()
```

## Discussion

After other object decoding has completed, the system calls this method. This allows a view controller to complete setup after other state restoration, relying on the system to ensure that the states of all objects from the restoration archive have been decoded.
