In iOS, the SceneDelegate is a class that is responsible for managing the scenes in your app. A scene is a discrete unit of your app's user interface, such as a window or tab. The SceneDelegate class provides methods that are called at various points in the lifecycle of a scene, such as when a scene is about to be displayed, or when a scene is about to be destroyed.
The SceneDelegate class is typically used to manage the state of a scene and to respond to events that affect the scene. For example, the SceneDelegate class might be used to manage the size and position of a window, or to respond to changes in the device's orientation.
In general, the SceneDelegate class is an optional part of the iOS app architecture, and you do not need to use it in your app unless you need to manage multiple scenes. If you only have one scene in your app, you can use the AppDelegate class to manage the lifecycle of your app instead.
Remove the SceneDelegate
There might be some reason we probably don't want the SceneDelegate class. To remove the SceneDelegate class from your iOS app, you can follow these steps:
- Open your project in Xcode and in the Project Navigator, navigate to the
SceneDelegate.swiftfile and delete it. - In the Project Navigator, navigate to the
AppDelegate.swiftfile. - In the
AppDelegateclass, remove theUISceneDelegateprotocol from the class declaration. - In the
AppDelegateclass, remove thevar window: UIWindow?property. - In the
AppDelegateclass, remove the following methods:
func scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession, options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions)
func sceneDidDisconnect(_ scene: UIScene)
func sceneDidBecomeActive(_ scene: UIScene)
func sceneWillResignActive(_ scene: UIScene)
func sceneWillEnterForeground(_ scene: UIScene)
func sceneDidEnterBackground(_ scene: UIScene)
6, In the Info.plist file, remove the UISceneManifest key and its associated dictionary.
After completing these steps, the SceneDelegate class will be removed from your app, and the AppDelegate class will be the only class responsible for managing the lifecycle of your app. However, note that removing the SceneDelegate class will also remove the ability to manage multiple scenes in your app, so you should only do this if you do not need this functionality.
