Summary:
It is difficult to get the object for the instantiated Storyboard file in the App Delegate

Steps to Reproduce:
Start with Single View Application
Note that main view controller is created by the OS, using the storyboard file specified in info.plist
Try to add some code in the App Delegate that accesses the Storyboard file

Expected Results:
The app delegate should have some object for the created Storyboard file, or perhaps a way to get it as a class method of UIStoryboard

Actual Results:
You have to go through the window to get its view controller and then get the storyboard object

Regression:
Has always been this way

Notes:
Seems like there should be some class method on UIStoryboard to get the default storyboard object that the OS finds and instantiates. Perhaps something similar to [NSBundle mainBundle] it could be [UIStoryboard mainStoryboard].
