Switches are used to toggle between on and off states.

Important method

- (void)setOn:(BOOL)on animated:(BOOL)animated

Add custom methods addSwitch and switched:

-(IBAction)switched:(id)sender{
    NSLog(@"Switch current state %@", mySwitch.on ? @"On" : @"Off");
}
-(void)addSwitch{
    mySwitch = [[UISwitch alloc] init];
    [self.view addSubview:mySwitch];
    mySwitch.center = CGPointMake(150, 200);
    [mySwitch addTarget:self action:@selector(switched:)
    forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];    
}

Update viewDidLoad in ViewController.m as follows

(void)viewDidLoad
{
   [super viewDidLoad];
   [self addSwitch];
}
