I’m running xcode 4.5.2 to write an iOS app for both iphone & ipad

  • 0

I’m running xcode 4.5.2 to write an iOS app for both iphone & ipad (“universal” app).

I’m able to use the iphone storyboard to drag & drop buttons, labels, etc onto it. In fact I have functioning code on the iphone side.

However, since the beginning, I have not been able to drag & drop anything onto the ipad storyboard. When I try to do so the buttons, labels, etc just “bounce off”.

Is there a way to reset the iPad storyboard so that I can get a clean start? It potentially could be that I had mistakenly (this is my very first iOS app) dragged a view or view controller onto the ipad story board. I tried deleting it but the whole ipad storyboard disappears after that.

It is probably something very simple but I’m very new to this. Thanks.

    You can only drag & drop items into a view if you are in the most “zoomed-in” way of viewing it. Try pressing the “=” in the bottom right corner when you bring up your iPad storyboard (this will toggle between the most zoomed-in and the most previous zoom out). Once it zooms you in all the way, try dropping something onto your view again.

    EDIT: Per Xcode 8 Release Notes, Interface Builder should now allow editing at all zoom levels.
