Dynamically load nib for iPhone/iPad within view controller

Question

I have converted an iPhone application using the wizard like thing in XCode into a universal app.

It builds fine but obviously looks a bit rubbish in some areas :)<

Answer 1

I just put these two methods in a class called IPadHelper, and use the addIPadSuffixWhenOnIPad method to conditionally pick between two nibs depending on platform

+ (BOOL)isIPad{
    if (kCFCoreFoundationVersionNumber >= kCFCoreFoundationVersionNumber_iPhoneOS_3_2){
        if ([[UIDevice currentDevice] userInterfaceIdiom] == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad){
            return YES;
        }
    }
    return NO;
}

+ (NSString *)addIPadSuffixWhenOnIPad:(NSString *)resourceName{
    if([IPadHelper isIPad]){
        return [resourceName stringByAppendingString:@"-iPad"];
    }
    else {
        return resourceName;
    }   
}
