Trouble with loading a separate XIB for iPad or iPhone


Im having trouble figuring out how to load a separate XIB for iPad or for iPhone in a Universal app.

Its easy enough to convert the Xcode project to Universal and have separate Main view interfaces.

My problem is the secondary view and getting it to have separate interfaces for both iPad and iPhone.

Please offer any help you can give as I have been working on this issue for days without success. Thanks in advance!

  • I know that @indragie's answer is a very common one, but it's a common misunderstanding that will cause you a lot more work than you actually need to do.

    As long as you name the xib files a certain way, they will be automatically selected for either iPhone or iPad. Check out my answer to this same problem on another post:
