I need to copy xib files from one project to another project. This may be basic thing but I am new to xib file usage.

I manually copied the xxx.h, xxx.m & xxx.xib from project-1 and kept in one folder and included them in another project as “Right click on the Project-2 folder -> Add files to Project-2” option.

(1) I lost some IBOutlet connections after copying

(2) Xib not allowing to have new IBOutlet variables.

Then I copied the files from original location (Project-1 folder) but then

(3) If I create new IBOutlet connections the reference variable if I access I am getting nil value.

Could somebody help me the basics of how to move/copy the xib files and its sources.

    There may be two issues I sense in your copying.

    1) While you are copying check option : “Copy selected items to destination folder”. refer screenshot!enter image description here

    2) Also in your .xib file select File’s owner –> Go to Identity Inspector in right top corner and select suitable class for that xib. When you add xib independently you have to set it’s class manually like this.
