How to add new xib files
I have to develop an app with multiple screens. I have automatically generated xib file, but for my other screen I need another xib file. How do I create another xib file?
(Assuming XCode 4)
In the "File -> New File..." menu dialog, there is a subsection called "User Interface."
You will notice in the description of each of the sub-items, it says "An Interface Builder Document." Those are various types of nibs.
If you're creating a new ViewController
specifically, you can also choose the "Cocoa Touch" section and select the "UIViewController subclass" item. There is a checkbox in the next page called "With XIB for User Interface." which will create the NIB as well as the associated class files.
For XCode 8 and swift 3:
File -> New File -> iOS -> User Interface -> View
Name it "YourViewController.xib" and saved it.
In XCode 4:
To create a standalone user interface (XIB):
File -> New File -> iOS -> User Interface
Then choose:
- Application (includes delegate and window)
- Window
- View
- Empty
To create a new UIViewController
class with a user interface:
File -> New File -> iOS -> Cocoa Touch -> UIViewController subclass -> Click Next
Then, name the new view controller class and select "With XIB for user interface."
