I created a User Defined Runtime Attributes to my custom UIView in IB, and the interesting thing is, that I can access it in touchesBegan:withEvent: method but not in initWithCoder: Do you know why?

    It is because the views from IB are finished loading after initWithCoder. The following will help you understand the process. It is explained for UIViewControllers, but the concept is the same (from the ViewController Programming Guide):

    When you create a view controller in a storyboard, the attributes you
    configure in Interface Builder are serialized into an archive. Later,
    when the view controller is instantiated, this archive is loaded into
    memory and processed. The result is a set of objects whose attributes
    match those you set in Interface Builder. The archive is loaded by
    calling the view controller’s initWithCoder: method.
