Question

My current storyboard layout

UIViewController
  |
  +- UIView (MyView)

in MyView I have the following functions built out

• init
• initWithFrame
• initWithCoder
• awakeFromNib
• awakeAfterUsingCoder

Out of those five, only two actually run

• awakeFromNib
• awakeAfterUsingCoder

I’ve scoured for a while and I can’t figure out why the init functions aren’t working.

Per my comment up top:

@MichaelDautermann it was something simple. This is two days in a row now. I had – (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aDecoder:(CGRect)frame. Why is that it takes me so long to see these n00b mistakes? I don’t know. In my defense, Xcode didn’t give me any build errors.

Incorrect code I had:

- (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aDecoder:(CGRect)frame {
    if(self = [super initWithCoder:aDecoder]) {
        //
    }
    return self;
}

Correct code:

- (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aDecoder {
    if(self = [super initWithCoder:aDecoder]) {
        //
    }
    return self;
}
