iPhone IOS5 Storyboard, how to load a UIViewController with a custom .xib file?

Question

I have some UIViewControllers from my old iOS4 project, they are using .xib, created in interface builder.

My new project, built for iOS5, uses storyboards.

Answer 1

You could copy the contents of the xib into the storyboard and then instantiate it using:

- (id)instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:(NSString *)identifier

after setting the identifier on it. If you need the instance of the storyboard you can get it this way:

[UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil];
