Question

I am wondering if there are any tutorials for RSS Feeds on the iPhone using Storyboard for iOS 5? Rey Wenderlich has a great tutorial creating a RSS Feed on the iPhone – found here: RSS Feed Tutorial

However, I am unsure how I can use this tutorial when using storyboard. I have been unsuccessful in finding a RSS tutorial for the iPhone using Storyboard too.

If anyone came across one, please can you let me know?

Thanks. 🙂

I recently had difficulty finding a similar tutorial, and ended up creating my own simple RSS reader using the MWFeedParser library: https://github.com/mwaterfall/MWFeedParser coupled with a UITableView.

Once I was able to get a list of the blog entries, I created a Core Data object for each of my blog entries, with help from this tutorial: http://maybelost.com/2011/12/tutorial-storyboard-app-with-core-data/

These entries are loaded into a UITableView in my app, which displays the content of the post when the user selects the row in the Table View.

You can use the storyboarding technique to do this, by dragging the UITableView onto the Storyboard and sub-classing the UITableViewController to implement the feed parsing.

Hope this helps!
