Okay guys, maybe you can help me out with this one. I’m about ready to pull my hair out.

Recently I decided to upgrade my app and make it look better, and with that I wanted to move it into full support for iPad platforms as well. For a while everything worked great. Just press copy MainWindow.xib for iPad, add the views that I used on the iPhone configurations, and everything should be great, but that didn’t work too well. Take a look:

Here is the iPhone screenshot:

Here is the iPad screenshot:

Where’s the tab bar? I don’t understand! I added the initial view when I was first putting it together, but when I linked all of the IBOutlets to the proper pieces, the tab bar no longer shows up.

Screenshot of IB:

Interface Builder

Tab Bar properties:

  • Tint: A bluish color
  • Image Tint: A goldish color
  • Mode: Scale to fill
  • Tag: 0
  • User Interaction Enabled: (Checked)
  • Multiple Touch: (Unchecked)
  • Alpha: 1
  • Opaque: (Checked)
  • Hidden (Unchecked)
  • Clears Graphic Context: (Checked)
  • Clip Subviews: (Unchecked)
  • Autoresize Subviews: (Checked)
  • Stretching: (x,y,w,h):(0,0,1,1)

The viewController.h file is a delegate for UITabBar, UITextField, and UITextView

ViewDidLoad (bar is the IBOutlet for the tab bar):

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    [self playMovieIntro];

     NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.faithlifefellowship.us/Audio/Sermons/NewSermonBanner.png"];
    NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
    UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithData:data];
    if(!image == NULL)
    {
        NewSermonBanner.image = image;
    }

    series = [[Series alloc] init];

    SeriesName = @"";

    NSRange range = [[[UIDevice currentDevice] name] rangeOfString:@"iPad"];

    int i = 0;

    if(range.location != NSNotFound)
        i = 1;

    bar.selectedItem = hometab;

    //set delegates
    [bar setDelegate:self];
    [personalName setDelegate:self];
    [personalEmail setDelegate:self];
    [content setDelegate:self];
    [prContent setDelegate:self];
    [prName setDelegate:self];
    [prEmail setDelegate:self];
}

I’m stumped. If you have any ideas or need any more information, let me know.

Thanks!

    I’m going to give you a few things I’m getting in order to fix this. It will be tons easier if you could upload the source code for me/us to download and be able to pinpoint the problem.

    Sometimes (I can’t remember exactly when) I’ve had my navigation bar not show up because it was missing a connection.

    Make sure you are not hiding the tab bar anywhere in code, though it doesn’t seem to be the case since it shows up on iPhone.

    Otherwise I’m gonna take a guess and say it’s something in the NIB. Here are some things you can try:

    • Check all your connections to outlets
    • Make sure your objects in the NIB are of the correct class
    • Verify that the tab bar’s “hidden” property is not check in Interface Builder
    • Compare and verify all the structure of the NIB file between iPhone and iPad

    These are just some ideas 🙂 again if you can post the code it would be fantastic.

    Let us know how it goes,
    Felipe
