Question

I have several ViewControllers which subclass UITableViewController and have a Xib file where I set the TableViews appearances (style, colours etc) and add a header and footer.

There xib files do not appear to be getting loaded on iOS 5. On iOS 6 the xib is loaded and the view looks as expected.

iOS 6

iOS 5

Xib – Interface Builder

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Turns out that prior to iOS 5 the UITableViewController designated initialiser did not load the Nib. This changed with iOS 6 and it now checks for a Nib.

To make the app work with both version I have made my designated initialiser call

self = [super initWithNibName:@"Nib Name" bundle:nil];
