![<p>A screenshot of XCode highlighting that we have set a breakpoint on line 14 of the AppDelegate.swift file. This breakpoint is exactly one line under the application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: <strong>Any</strong>]?) -> Bool function.</p>](https://www.delasign.com/CDN/images/Breakpoint.webp)
In the AppDelegate.swift of the project, add a breakpoint in the application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool function.
Step Two: Run the Application
Press the Play button on the top left of Xcode, or press Command + R on your keyboard.
Thanks to the breakpoint we setup in Step One, the app will stop at the splash screen.
