每个app有且只有一个UIApplication对象，当程序启动的时候通过调用UIApplicationMain方法得到的。可以通过sharedApplication方法得到。
UIApplication对象的主要任务是处理用户事件的处理路径，例如分发一个UIEvent到另外一个对象去处理。UIApplication对象持有众多的UIWindow对象，因此可以组织app的展示。UIApplication对象还能处理一些资源，例如通过openURL:打开邮箱客户端或者设置界面等。
获得UIApplication对象：[UIApplication sharedApplication]
获得UIApplicationDelegate对象：[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate]
获得UIWindow对象：
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] windows]; //UIWindow数组
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow]; //UIWindow数组中最后调用makeKeyAndVisible方法的UIWindow对象
控制和处理UIEvent：
\- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{//分发一个event到另外一个对象去处理
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] sendAction:@selector(action: forEvent:) to:[CustomHandler sharedCustomHandler] from:self forEvent:event];
}
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] beginIgnoringInteractionEvents]; //开始忽略Event
//...中间调用动画等操作
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] endIgnoringInteractionEvents]; //结束忽略Event
[UIApplication sharedApplication].applicationSupportsShakeToEdit = YES; //晃动是否有撤销或者重做动作
打开URL资源：[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString]];//打开设置界面
配置通知设置：
UIUserNotificationType types = UIUserNotificationTypeBadge | UIUserNotificationTypeSound | UIUserNotificationTypeAlert;
UIUserNotificationSettings *mySettings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:types categories:nil];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:mySettings]; //注册远程推送通知
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotifications];//注册
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] unregisterForRemoteNotifications];//注销
NSDate *date = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:10];
UILocalNotification *localNotif = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
localNotif.fireDate = date; //时间
localNotif.timeZone = [NSTimeZone localTimeZone]; //时区
localNotif.repeatInterval = NSCalendarUnitMinute; //间隔
localNotif.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName; //声音
localNotif.alertBody = @"Local Test"; //通知内容
localNotif.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 1; //数字标示
localNotif.userInfo = @{@"key":@"test"}; //info
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotif]; //注册通知
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] presentLocalNotificationNow:localNotif]; //立即通知
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] cancelAllLocalNotifications]; //取消所有通知
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] cancelLocalNotification:localNotif]; //取消特定的通知
NSArray *arr = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduledLocalNotifications]; //所有的通知
后台运行相关：
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] applicationState]; //app状态
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setMinimumBackgroundFetchInterval:3600]; //设置后台运行时间
NSTimeInterval remainTime = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] backgroundTimeRemaining]; //app后台运行的时间
NSLog(@"remainTIme = %f",remainTime);
int state = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] backgroundRefreshStatus]; //后台刷新的状态
NSLog(@"state = %d",state);
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] beginBackgroundTaskWithName:@"taskOne" expirationHandler:^{
}];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] beginBackgroundTaskWithExpirationHandler:^{
}];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] endBackgroundTask:1];
远程的控制相关：
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] beginReceivingRemoteControlEvents];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] endReceivingRemoteControlEvents];
系统的Idle Timer：
[UIApplication sharedApplication].idleTimerDisabled = YES; //不让手机休眠
APP样式：
//隐藏状态条
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationSlide];
//设置状态条的样式
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleDefault];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarStyle];
//状态条的Frame
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarFrame];
//网络是否可见
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] isNetworkActivityIndicatorVisible];
//badge数字
[UIApplication sharedApplication].applicationIconBadgeNumber = 2;
//屏幕的方向
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] userInterfaceLayoutDirection];
设置状态条的方向：
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft animated:YES];
