which line of code decide a iOS project use storyboard or nib or neither? - ios

When I create a single view project in xcode, it will generate a storyboard. And I deleted this file, I can still run the program. So I'm just curious how can I change a storyboard project to a empty project in code?

Just remove entry "Main storyboard file base name" in your project plist file.

Where Does the Storyboard/Layout Info Get Written To?

I know you can create a screen for an iOS app entirely with code. But when you use the interface builder part of Xcode, where is all of that information going? Is it being written to a file you can view?
A Storyboard itself is a file contained in your project folder, so you must create a storyboard file in Xcode in advance before using the Storyboard.
To create a storyboard file:
Press Command + N in Xcode ( or choose on File > New > File)
Then you can create a storyboard file, and you can find the file in Xcode Navigator or Finder.
If you want to check the source code of the storyboard file, just open it with text editors.

Xcode with multiple projects Storyboard reference bundle not working

I'm having a difficult time trying to figuring out how to make a storyboard reference work with storyboard from other project. I'm trying to modularize my App, so I'm creating multiple projects inside Xcode workspace. The point is that at some times, one storyboard from project A may have a reference to a storyboard in project B... I thought that the reason for the 'BUNDLE' option in a storyboard reference is that you could achieve what I've mentioned... I've attached an image that explain better what I'm saying... When I try to run, the app links to the Main.storyboard from Project A instead Main.storyboard from Project B...
I've checked and rechecked to make sure that bundle name is correct...
Thanks a lot, guys.
First give an id to the reference screen.
second write the storyboard referans add Reference id
The bundle name in the StoryBoard reference is the bundle identifier of the FrameWork/Project that contain your reference story board. For example: com.chozinul.CustomUI
Use storyboard name and push controller will viewcontroller identifiers

Converting .xib file to storyboard

I have been searching how to convert a xib file into a storyboard file, but I can't find an answer, also I followed this tutorial but when I run the app the old .xib file is opened, no the new storyboard, my app has just two .xib files that I want to convert into storyboards, is there a way or tutorial at this date that can achieve that?
You must update your target configuration of the app. Open the General tab. In the secion Deployment Info you will find Main Interface. Choose your storyboard instead of the XIB file.

Xcode Storyboard recovery

So I lost my source storyboard file. But I still had the .ipa that I released.
So I used crunch to extract my storyboard. However, it is the Main.storyboardc version and renaming it to Main.storyboard turned it into a folder with multiple .nib files.
Is there anyway I can turn these files into a storyboard or can I use these instead?
You should be able to use the .nib files but all the logic of the storyboard is lost.
And no you can't convert this into a storyboard file as you don't have the storyboard logic recovered.
Imagine if any one can extract interface/code from a compiled application.
But you can create a new storyboard, opening the nib files and copying the interface inside your new storyboard. You only have to recreate the segues, and relink the outlets.
You can also extract the original nibs from the .ipa file :
Rename the MyApp.ipa to MyApp.zip
Extract it
Inside the extracted folder right click the MyApp.app and press "Show package contents"
Here you will have all the resources, including the nib files.

Did not find storyboard referenced from Main.storyboard

I am using Xcode 7.1 and I am using storyboard references to go to different storyboards. The problem is everytime I run the simulator, there is an error that says, "Did not find storyboard named "Storyboard" referenced from Main.storyboard". But the storyboard reference is set to go to "Storyboard". So I need some help. Thanks in advance!
Here is my view.
This problem can also arise if you have somehow managed to uncheck the Target and you are running the project for that Target. Make sure you have checked all the targets you want to run the project on.
Make sure you have set the Storyboard Id in the right side bar. It should be the same value as you reference it.
Only removing localization from storyboard file helped me. (Delete storyboard file from project and add again)
In my case, I had to add my project target as the target membership of the storyboard.
This happened to me when the one storyboard was using "Base" localization and the other "English". They need to match up or you will get linker errors.
For me the refactored Storyboard was missing from Build Phases > Copy Bundle Resources. Adding it manually fixed the issue.
XCODE 12.2
this error happened for several issues, so check the following checklist:
1 - define the initial view controller in the destination storyboard or check the storyboard id that you put is the same as the storyboard id in the destination storyboard.
2 - the destination storyboard target memberships must include all targets that checked on the first storyboard.
3- check all the localization in the destination and the first storyboard are the same.
