How can I show a view on the first launch only?

Question

I built an application using Xcode 4.5 with storyboards. The first time the app launches I want the initial view controller to appear with terms and conditions that must be

Answer 1

You put in in your AppDelegate:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {  

//first-time ever defaults check and set
if([[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] boolForKey:@"TermsAccepted"]!=YES)
{
    [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setBool:NO forKey:@"TermsAccepted"];
}

Then you implement in your rootViewController the terms and conditions and a way to accept it. You will have to check if the terms are accepted, for example like this:

if ([[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] boolForKey:@"TermsAccepted"]){
    //proceed with app normally
}
else{
//show terms
}

When accepted, the following code will change the default settings:

 if(termsaccepted){
    [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setBool:YES forKey:@"TermsAccepted"];
}
