Question

When you create an application from the ‘View-Based’ template in the iPhoneSDK the following code is generated. I basically understand what is happening here, but I do not see where window and viewController are instantiated. Any Help?

@class jojojViewController;  @interface jojojAppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate> {     UIWindow *window;     jojojViewController *viewController; }  @property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window; @property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet jojojViewController *viewController;  @end 

===============================================

@implementation Test6AppDelegate  @synthesize window,mainView;      - (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {          // Override point for customization after application launch     [window makeKeyAndVisible]; }      - (void)dealloc {     [window release];     [super dealloc]; } @end

They come from the MainWindow.xib (or similar) file in your project.

This is the file that in your info.plist is set as the application window. When your application starts this xib is loaded and the viewcontroller and window are unarchived and loaded.
