试试简单的方法:

斯威夫特4

// Call the method
(UIApplication.shared.delegate as? AppDelegate)?.whateverWillOccur()

在你的AppDelegate中:

// MARK: - Whatever
func whateverWillOccur() {

    // Your code here.

}

斯威夫特4.2

在Swift中，很容易在你的VC中访问

extension UIViewController {
    var appDelegate: AppDelegate {
    return UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate
   }
}

extension AppDelegate {

    // MARK: - App Delegate Ref
    class func delegate() -> AppDelegate {
        return UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate
    }
}

在Xcode 6.2中，这也是可行的

let appDelegate = UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate! as AppDelegate

let aVariable = appDelegate.someVariable

这可以用于OS X

let appDelegate = NSApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as AppDelegate
var managedObjectContext = appDelegate.managedObjectContext?

确保你导入了UIKit let appDelegate = UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate!作为!AppDelegate
