appdelegate didFinishLaunchingWithOptions, how handle quick action when view is not created yet?

Question

Ok, so in my AppDelegate, I initialise various stuff in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions, however I create my views in applicationDidBecomeActive.

My reasoning behind this was that when the app is executing stuff in the background (push notifications), the didFinishLaunching... will be called so I don't want to create UI stuff there, if the application will not be visible.

This has worked for me, however now with quick actions, say i want to have a quick action that goes to one of my tabs. I can't do it in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions, since the views won't be created until didBecomeActive.

So, my questions are:

1. Have I misunderstood something regarding the lifecycle and timing of UI and didFinishLaunching.../didBecomeActive? That is, is it good practice to do what i do, create the views to be used in didBecomeActive and not didFinishLaunching...?

2. I haven't really found any good examples regarding this. I suppose i could store away the UIApplicationShortcutItem in didFinishLaunching... and then use it in didBecomeActive. It seems a bit 'hacky', but i haven't figured out anything else.

Pointers much appreciated.
