Question

I’ve never loaded a bundle, so I’m not sure why this is not working. I don’t think it matters, but the .xib in question here is in the same Resources folder as all my other .xibs.

NSArray *array = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"S3AsyncView" owner:self];

Returns this error:

Instance method -loadNibNamed:owner not found.  Return type defaults to id

I find this error strange, because the return type of [NSBundle mainBundle] is of course NSBundle.

Answer 1

There is no such method in NSBundle, hence the error.

I guess you are looking for:

loadNibNamed:owner:options:

• Documentation link

You can pass nil to the options, as it expect a NSDictionary

So in your case:

NSArray *array = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"S3AsyncView" owner:self options:nil];

EDIT

If it still doesn’t work, verify you have included <UIKit/UIKit.h>.

EDIT 2

Ok, now I see. You tagged your question with iOS, but now you say it’s a Cocoa app.

The loadNibNamed:owner:options: is a UIKit addition, so available only on iPhone.

On Mac OS X, you’ll use the + (BOOL)loadNibNamed:(NSString *)aNibName owner:(id)owner class method.

So:

NSArray *array = [ NSBundle loadNibNamed: @"whatever" owner: self ];
