Having troubles with application launching. I've been deleting Main.storyboard from project and trying to create main window from code. At this moment I figured that something went wrong and my AppDelegate is no longer functioning at all.

@NSApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate {

    func applicationDidFinishLaunching(_ aNotification: Notification) {
        print("OK")
    }

The code is straightforward, but it prints nothing, also breakpoint is not triggered at line with print statement. Application building and launching with no problems, but nothing is on screen / in debug output.

Last non-trivial action I've done was erasing "Main storyboard file base name" in Info.plist file. Could that cause such a problem?

Unless you are launching your app as a result of a notification, you are using the wrong delegate method. – picciano May 14 '18 at 23:23
The AppDelegate object was in Main.storyboard which is deleted. – Willeke May 14 '18 at 23:24
@picciano no, this is the correct `applicationDidFinishLaunching` method. – Willeke May 14 '18 at 23:26
@Willeke so NSApplicationMain annotation does nothing itself? – Efim Plotnikov May 15 '18 at 05:58
Good point, is `AppDelegate` instantiated? – Willeke May 15 '18 at 10:57
