You might use it to keep track of application-level state variables or objects, for example.

As such, from time to time you will have a need to retrieve your app’s application delegate instance. You can retrieve it from anywhere within your app by running the following single line of code:

MyAppDelegateClass *app = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];

Just be sure to replace “MyAppDelegateClass” with your own iPhone app’s application delegate class name.
