Programmatically change rootViewController of storyBoard

by

Objective-C:

UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil];
UITabBarController *rootViewController = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"tabBarcontroller"];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow setRootViewController:rootViewController];

Swift :

 let mainStoryboard: UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
 let viewController = mainStoryboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("tabBarcontroller") as UITabBarController  
   UIApplication.sharedApplication().keyWindow?.rootViewController = viewController;

Swift 3:

let mainStoryboard: UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let viewController = mainStoryboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "tabBarcontroller") as! UITabBarController
UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController = viewController

Swift 5:

let viewController = mainStoryboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "tabBarcontroller") as! UITabBarController
UIApplication.shared.windows.first?.rootViewController = viewController
UIApplication.shared.windows.first?.makeKeyAndVisible()

Or simply like this:

let viewController = mainStoryboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "tabBarcontroller") as! UITabBarController
self.view.window?.rootViewController = viewController
self.view.window?.makeKeyAndVisible()

Both works fine!
