Can we change root view controller as a Storybord After creating a project in SwiftUI?

Question

I had try following

1. Replace following code in SceneDelegate

   let window = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)
   window.rootViewController = UIHostingController(rootView: ContentView())
   self.window = window
   window.makeKeyAndVisible()
   

instead

guard let _ = (scene as? UIWindowScene) else { return }

also set Main Interface as a Storyboard and entry point.

Answer 1

Using Xcode 11 beta 3, I can reliably get a storyboard working as the root view controller in a new SwiftUI project with the following steps:

1. Comment out the code in SceneDelegate's scene(willConnectTo:) function.

2. Create a new Main.storyboard, add a view controller, and set "Is Initial View Controller" on it.

3. Select the Info.plist for the iOS target, right click Open As -> Source Code.

4. Add the UISceneStoryboardFile and UIMainStoryboardFile keys as shown here:

Setting the Main Interface in the Target's Deployment Info section only sets the UIMainStoryboardFile key but I had to set both in order to get it to work properly.

Here is the full code of the Info.plist:
