Programmatically set rootViewcontroller for UINavigationcontroller in Storyboard in Appdelegate

I have a value in NSUserdefaults. I am using storyboard, it is embedded in UINavigationController.

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
     if([[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]objectForKey:@"isLoggedIn"]){
         //show home page here
        }else{
           // show login view
        }
}

I can open the app using a URL also

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application handleOpenURL:(NSURL *)url {
         NSString *text = [[url host] stringByReplacingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

         if(text.length > 0){
           // show home page 

         }else {
          // show settings page
        }

        return YES;
}

How can I set the rootViewController for the UINavigationController based on the value that is retrieved .Can anyone please help me out?

You can create an object of UINavigationController with your ViewController as per if/else condition and set the navigation controller as rootViewController property of window in AppDelegate as follows:

LoginViewController *loginController = [[UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil] instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"loginController"]; //or the homeController
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:loginController];
self.window.rootViewController = navController;

This is what i used in my code

NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
    // Get user preference
 NSString * wxyz=[defaults stringForKey:@"wxyz"];
    //Get value at wxyz field

if ([self isInValidwxyz:wxyz]) {
    //check if wxyz is invalid
    //If wxyz is invalid, write custom code
}
else{
    //if valid, 
    if ([[UIDevice currentDevice] userInterfaceIdiom] == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone){
        UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"myStoryBoardiPhone" bundle:nil];
        self.window.rootViewController = [storyboard instantiateInitialViewController];
    }
    else{

        UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"myStoryBoardiPad" bundle:nil];
        self.window.rootViewController = [storyboard instantiateInitialViewController];;
    }
    [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
}

and then, go through this link for implementation with navigation controller
