Title Body

I've just started on iOS programming and so far the tutorials and answers I found here have been a great help to move forward. However, this particular problem has been bumming me all night and I can't find an answer that "feels right". I'm writing an application that connects to a remote service and the users need to sign in before they can use it. When they start using the application, their first view should be the sign in dialog; when they've authenticated before, they immediately see the overview page. The project uses story boards - which I think is a great feature - so most of the code that selects and loads the root view controller is already taken care of. I thought the best place to add my logic is the application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method of the AppDelegate : - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: (NSDictionary *)launchOptions { // select my root view controller here based on credentials present or not return YES; } But this brought up two questions: Inside this particular delegate method, the root view controller has already been selected (and loaded?) based on the story board. Could I move to an earlier spot in the loading process to override the first view controller selection or would that needlessly complicate matters? To override the first view controller I need a reference to the story board, but I couldn't find a better way than to use the storyboardWithName:bundle: constructor of UIStoryboard . That feels wrong, the application should already have a reference to the story board, but how can I access it? Update I worked out the second issue I was having, as I found my answer here: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9853608/uistoryboard-whats-the-correctest-way-to-get-the-active-storyboar
