unable to access .nib(XIB) files from a framework in iOS

Question

i have created a framework out of my existing code base and tried using it in a new code base. This worked fine. But my application is getting crashed when i try to access the nib files which is a part of my framework bundle. This is the code i am using to access the view controllers XIB file.

testViewController *controller = [[testViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"testViewController" bundle:nil]; [self.view addSubview:controller.view];

The app is getting crashed without generating any error or crash report. Here aremy questions

1 - Can we add xib files in our framework

2 - If, yes, what is the correct way to add and access the nib(xib)files from a framawork(currently i have added them in the "compile sources" section of my "build phases" tab in "build settings")

Answer 1

You need to write the name of the bundle in which you nib. files are store so change your above code to ...

testViewController *controller = [[testViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"testViewController" bundle:yourBundle]; [self.view addSubview:controller.view];

here your bundle is an object of type NSBundle. refer the NSBundle class for more info
