I’ve only just started learning to build iPhone apps using xcode.
I’m slowly getting the basics, but I’ve come across a problem in Interface Builder.
When I create a new project using the Tab Bar Application template, I can’t seem to do anything with the Tab Bar Controller in main.xib. When I double click the file, IB opens up fine, but there is no window to add/remove items to the view. If I drag a second Tab Bar Controller from the library, it opens up a window to edit the view, but does nothing else as it isn’t connected. If I close the editor window and double click the new Tab Bar Controller icon in IB, it opens it back up but refuses to open up the original (connected) one when I double click that.
I’m more than happy to start completely from scratch with a basic Window application, but I can’t find any resources to get me started with Tab Bar Controllers that don’t simply use the xcode template!
I’d appreciate any help anyone can give.
You aren’t crazy! I’ve been struggling with this problem all day. The first time it happened to me, the Tab Bar Controller window eventually opened behind the library window and I thought I had missed it that entire time. But when I had the problem later, the window was not hidden and nothing I did would bring it back. Eventually (many deleted and new projects later), I discovered that if you give the Tab Bar Controller icon a SLOW double click, that it would pop up.
