Some of the iOS Developers, including me, don't want to use Storyboards. We all may have different reasons but this is a need after all. But with iOS 13, we have new shiny "SceneDelegate" class. It is useful for multi window apps but it's shipping with storyborads on default.

How to remove Storyboard?

• First, as usual, we need to remove "Main Interface" from (Project Name on Left Panel) -> (Select Your Target) -> General -> Main Interface.

• Now change the line starting with guard let _ = scene... to:

guard let windowScene = scene as? UIWindowScene else { fatalError() }

• Add these lines to func scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession, options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) in SceneDelegate class:

window = UIWindow(windowScene: windowScene)
window?.rootViewController = ViewController()
window?.makeKeyAndVisible()

• Last thing is, go to Info.plist file:
  • Go into “Scene Configuration” > “Application Session Role” > “Item 0 (Default Configuration)”
  • Delete “Storyboard Name” row.

Wrapping up

Well done! Now you got rid of Storyboards.

Enjoy your new project.
