Based on what you've told us, I believe I know what your problem is. awakeFromNib is called when an object is deserialized from a nib file. Here you have an object, which is the owner, that exists before the nib is loaded. Thus awakeFromNib would never be sent to your AlignmentViewController.h.

If you need to do something here, try using loadView instead. Or just do it after loading the nib. What is it that you're tying to do that you wanted to do it in awakeFromNib?
