Initializing root view controller with myViewController / Using split view(sliding navigation) controller

Question

I'm working on adopting slide (split) view controller to my project.

JT, DD, ZUUI, JW, ECS.....

All these sources suggesting initialize my root view controller in appDelegate.

Something like this....

MyMainViewController *controller = [MyMainController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:Controller];
   .........

self.window.rootViewController = viewController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];

Problem is I can't make my view visible, my app show blank page only with a empty navigation bar.

I customized my main view using AQGrid, is this causing a problem?

My view looks different to storyboard look. (because I customized it.)

So when I do initialize I'm using "self.storyboard initialize......method".

But in appdelegate, I can't use that method.

Simply, I can't make this view hierarchy because when I initialize my view it is not visible.

If you are using a storyboard, don't do any of that. Instead, choose your starting view controller from the storyboard and check the "Is Initial View Controller" in the Attributes inspector.
