iPhone Dev - Is it possible to load an app's mainWindow conditionally?

Is it possible to code this sequence of events once an iPhone app has been launched?

User launches application.
AppDelegate.m checks if data is present in internal database.
If yes, MainWindow.xib loads.
If no, AnotherViewController.xib loads.

I've only seen app examples that load the MainWindow.xib without conditions.

If it is possible, which method in AppDelegate.m handles the logic? (applicationDidFinishLaunching? viewDidLoad?)

Thanks! -JP

+1 A:

I don't think you want to load the MainWindow conditionally. Instead, load and show a viewController conditionally. This can be done in applicationDidFinishLaunching.

Got it! Here's the bit o' code I found that works well in applicationDidFinishLaunching: NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]; NSString *firsttime = [defaults stringForKey:@"firsttime"]; if (firsttime == nil) { //first time firing code goes here NSLog(@"so, this is your first time, huh?"); [defaults setObject:@"lasttime" forKey:@"firsttime"];
