mainViewController is nil

[hadiidbouk]

Hello ,

I am showing the mainVC progmatically after performing some code in the appdelegate file,

The problem that i don't have any initial view controller in the storyboard.

the problem here self.contentView?.addSubview(self.mainViewController!.view)

the mainViewController is nil, i try to set it progmatically in my "MainVC" that extends PBRevealViewController but it seems that the loadView() in the PBRevealViewController start first.

I figure out that the problem is only happen when the segue is push not set.

Hi, the code should be like this (if you don't want a right view controller, pass nil):

    func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
        
        window = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)
        
        let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
        
        let mainViewController = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "MainNavController")
        let leftNavController = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "LeftNavController")
        let rightViewController = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "RightViewController")
        
        let revealViewController = PBRevealViewController(leftViewController: leftNavController, mainViewController: mainViewController, rightViewController: rightViewController)
        
        window?.rootViewController = revealViewController
        
        window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
        
        return true
    }
