Ok, I had basically gotten frustrated trying to change WastedTime Watch to a fully SwiftUI based app. Apple changed the App Entry point which had completely changed how the AppDelegate function worked. I thought this app was the simplest of my apps, so I could easily convert it to the new Swift Architecture. Boy was I mistaken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In September, after banging my head against the wall for days, I posted the problem on StackOverflow, and walked away. Over the last few months, I got a coupled of suggestions, but severally figured out how to address the problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The net of the problem was I could not create my start up objects multiple times, but always ended up with a nil object. The basic startup of the application had changed, and I was not following it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today while trying another suggestion, I finally realized that the problem was (here comes the big surprising reveal) – Me! I had been using a local object instead of the delegate I created. here’s the basic structure of the now working code!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now I should able to clean up a few simple problems in the views, and release version 2.0 of Wasted Time for the Watch<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
