window = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)
window?.rootViewController = MyMainViewController()
window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
return true
}
write
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
window = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)
