How to connect ViewController.swift to ViewControl

Question

I made a new view controller in Storyboard and made a new .Swift file that inherits UIViewController. However, my viewDidLoad() is not being called.

What do I need to do to connect my view controller in my story board to my .swift code so viewDidLoad() is called?

I see there's this: How to connect storyboard to viewcontroller

However, in a default project, FirstViewController(storyboard) doesn't have FirstViewController in that box, it is empty, yet viewDidLoad() is still called. It doesn't make sense.

Answer 1

1. Choose your ViewController in the storyboard or scene list (mine is called Circuit).
2. Click on the Identity Inspector on the right
3. Select Custom Class > Class > Type name of your swift file.

DONE :)
