如何使用 Objective-C 在 iOS 13 中获取 rootViewController？

Question

I'm trying to get the rootViewController in iOS 13 using Objective-C. I'm doing something like this:

for (UIScene *scene in UIApplication.sharedApplication.connectedScenes) {
    UIWindowScene *windowScene = (UIWindowScene *) scene;
    UIWindowSceneDelegate *windowSceneDelegate = (UIWindowSceneDelegate *) windowScene.delegate;
    windowSceneDelegate.window = ...
}

But when I try to access the window property in windowSceneDelegate.window = (to get the rootViewController ) I get the following error:

Property 'window' cannot be found in forward class object 'UIWindowSceneDelegate'

But when I go to the definition of UIWindowSceneDelegate , I see a window property:

So what is the right way get rootViewController in iOS 13 using Objective-C?

Change your code to:

for (UIScene *scene in UIApplication.sharedApplication.connectedScenes) {
    if ([scene.delegate conformsToProtocol:@protocol(UIWindowSceneDelegate)]) {
        UIWindow *window = [(id<UIWindowSceneDelegate>)scene.delegate window];
    }
}

When you open the UIKit s UIWindowScene.h header file, it contains:

@class UIScreen, UIWindow, UIWindowSceneDelegate, UISceneDestructionRequestOptions, CKShareMetadata, UISceneSizeRestrictions;

See, there's the UIWindowSceneDelegate . This is the forward declaration.
