Question

So, I just downloaded Xcode 4 and installed it. I was actually quite looking forward to the single window and integrated IB…

–

However, when I open and run one of my projects, the nib files that the project uses don’t seem to load. Instead I’m left looking at a blank white screen (iPhone). This project ran well and fine on Xcode 3.2.

If I background and un-background the app, the view loads fine. But this happens every time I build, on both iPhone and iOS simulator, i.e. the app doesn’t work properly until it’s been backgrounded. All the code for loading the view follows from

 - (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application.

Did anyone else have the same nib file problems – is there a fix (or something stupidly simple that I’m forgetting about)?

Answer 1

Ok after a lot of messing around, I figured out the nib problem.

I had a stray line of code in the appDelegate class:

self.window = [[[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]] autorelease];

This line of code doesn’t affect anything when compiling with Xcode 3.2, but with Xcode 4 causes the loading problem. Just remove it (I don’t even remember why it was there…) and it’s fixed 🙂
