While SwiftUI uses the App protocol to manage the app's lifecycle, there are cases where you may still need an AppDelegate. For example, certain iOS functionalities, such as handling push notifications, background tasks, or deep links, require the AppDelegate methods. This article will guide you through creating an AppDelegate in a SwiftUI project and integrating it into your app.

Step 1: Create the AppDelegate Class

First, create a new class that conforms to UIApplicationDelegate in your SwiftUI project. This class will implement any methods needed for tasks such as didFinishLaunchingWithOptions.

import SwiftUI

class AppDelegate: NSObject, UIApplicationDelegate {
    
    func application(_ application: UIApplication, 
                     didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
        // Configure necessary settings on app launch
        print("AppDelegate: Application launched")
        return true
    }
}

Step 2: Integrate AppDelegate with SwiftUI App

In your main SwiftUI app file, you need to create an instance of AppDelegate and set it up to work with SwiftUI. You can do this by using the UIApplicationDelegateAdaptor property wrapper.

import SwiftUI

@main
struct EducaSwiftApp: App {

    // Integrate AppDelegate with SwiftUI
    @UIApplicationDelegateAdaptor(AppDelegate.self) var appDelegate
    
    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup {
            ContentView()
        }
    }
}

The @UIApplicationDelegateAdaptor property wrapper connects the AppDelegate class to SwiftUI, allowing it to receive lifecycle events. Now, appDelegate will handle any delegate methods defined in the AppDelegate class.
