Access object in AppDelegate from ViewController

In AppDelegate.swift I've declared an NSStatusBar object like this:

var statusItem = NSStatusBar.system.statusItem(withLength: NSStatusItem.variableLength)
statusItem.button?.title = "chess"
statusItem.button?.target = self
statusItem.button?.action = #selector(showSettings)

and works fine, but I want to change the title in the viewController.swift

I trying this (In view controller):

var appd = AppDelegate()
appd.statusItem.button?.title = "ELO: \(parsing2.chess_daily.last.rating)"

But the title not change... how can I do this???

Get the delegate object from NSApplication, the default initializer AppDelegate() creates a new unrelated instance.

let appDelegate = NSApp.delegate as! AppDelegate
appDelegate.statusItem.button?.title = "ELO: \(parsing2.chess_daily.last.rating)"
