Is there a fast way to see if a method is wired/bound from any xib file in my project ?
In other terms, I need to know if I can get rid of such method or it is used in Interface Builder.
Thanks

I do not think that
XCodehas a filter for boundIBActions. So I guess we’re left with 2 possible solutions:Visually identify bound methods (here I did a search for
IBAction. Bound actions are denoted with a filled circle, while unbound actions are empty circles). Although this method works, it’s not very useful when you have a lot of connections going on.Parse the
xmlproduced by interface builder. If you take a look at thexib/storyboardfiles, you will see that there are<connections>tags with<action>children similar to this:<action selector="fingeroff:" destination="ars-ip-845" eventType="touchDragOutside" id="1Nx-xZ-K1I"/>, whereselectoris your method signature. I guess you could parse those xmls and make a list of the bound methods (also a nice idea for an app!)If anyone though has a better way for dealing with this problem, please share!
