3D Touch actions not working (swift 3)

Question

So, I have managed to get everything hooked up properly. When the short cut actions are pressed, I get the correct Print out in the console. Where do I go from here? I can't figure it out...

This is my code in App Delegate

    var quicklaunch: Bool!
    var viewName: String?

   func application(application: UIApplication, performActionForShortcutItem shortcutItem: UIApplicationShortcutItem, completionHandler: (Bool) -> Void) {
    viewName = shortcutItem.type
    quicklaunch = true
    completionHandler(quicklaunch)
}

func applicationDidBecomeActive(application: UIApplication) {
    if quicklaunch == true {
        quicklaunch = false
        if viewName == "Messages" {
            let rootViewController = self.window?.rootViewController
            let popUpController = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil).instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "FriendsVC")
            rootViewController?.present(popUpController, animated: true, completion: nil)
            print("Worked")
        }
    }  
}

func application(_ application: UIApplication, performActionFor shortcutItem: UIApplicationShortcutItem, completionHandler: @escaping (Bool) -> Void) {
    if quicklaunch == false {
        quicklaunch = true
        if viewName == "Messages" {
            let rootViewController = self.window?.rootViewController
            let popUpController = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil).instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "FriendsVC")
            rootViewController?.present(popUpController, animated: true, completion: nil)
            print("Worked")
        }
    }

}

How do I get it to pop up to the correct view controllers?

Answer 1

You can get the rootViewController and then present the required viewController modally (or push it onto navigation stack if your rootViewController is a UINavigationController). Something along the lines of

let rootViewController = self.window?.rootViewController
let popUpController = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil).instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "???") as! ???
rootViewController.present(popUpController, animated: true, completion: nil)

Replace ??? with corresponding values

EDIT

Make a boolean variable in your AppDelegate called quickLaunch and a string variable viewName. Then update the following two methods

func application(application: UIApplication, performActionForShortcutItem shortcutItem: UIApplicationShortcutItem, completionHandler: (Bool) -> Void) {
    viewName = shortcutItem.type
    quickLaunch = true
    completionHandler(quickLaunch)
}

func applicationDidBecomeActive(application: UIApplication) {
    if quickLaunch == true {
        quickLaunch = false
        //PRESENT YOUR VIEW MODALLY HERE
    }  
}
