Replace xib file with Main.storyboard file in App delegate class

Question

Right now project is using MainWindow.xib in App delegate class as main nib file. It has this code in main.m file

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {

NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
int retVal = UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, nil);
[pool release];
return retVal;
}

I want to replace it with Mainstoryboard. I changed it in the info.plist file as Mainstoryboard file base name but it shows error that there is no app delegate set. An app delegate class must be specified to use a main storyboard file.

What coding i should do in App delegate class to use Mainstoryboard file.

Thanks

Note for anyone arriving here from Google looking for the error message the OP got: moving to Storyboards is actually the solution if you are still using nib files. — mrueg, Sep 23 '15 at 12:56

Replace the last argument (nil) of the UIApplicationMain() function with the name of the app delegate class. It's generally @"AppDelegate" by default.

In case others find this as I have, the code you actually want to replace nil with is NSStringFromClass([AppDelegate class]) where you would replace AppDelegate with your classname if you have named yours differently.

Also, don't forget to #import "AppDelegate.h"
