I made a mistake when I created one of my UIViewController objects. When I created the files, I forgot to select the Target for iPad option.

'Targeted for iPad' not selected

I never considered this to be much of an issue, because I always change my initial view within the generated Nib file to not display a statusbar, and to be freeform in sizing.

However, I’ve recently ran into a problem. The UIViewController that I created that wasn’t Targeted for iPad has a toolbar on it. This means that the default style is a bluish color. The problem is that all of my other views were created for the iPad and the default iPad style is a greyish tone, instead of the bluish tint color that is associated with iPhone/iPod devices.

I need my application to remain consistent and I’d rather not start from scratch, re-making my Nib file, and re-wiring it to my ViewController.h file.

How can I fix my Nib and View Controller so that it behaves as if it is Targeted for iPad, even though I’ve mistakenly not specified it as such?

    Try this at your own risk:

    First, back-up your original Xib file. Next, modify the second line from:

    <archive type="com.apple.InterfaceBuilder3.CocoaTouch.XIB" version="8.00">

    to

    <archive type="com.apple.InterfaceBuilder3.CocoaTouch.iPad.XIB" version="8.00">

    Next, open the source code of the xib, and in every ocurrence of the element:

    <string key="IBDocument.TargetRuntimeIdentifier">

    Replace the value IBCocoaTouchFramework with IBIPadFramework.

    Good luck!
