Add iPad storyboard to existing iphone project

Question

I created my project for just iphone/ipod users. Now i want to make it work for ipad users also. I have 2 storyboards; 3.5 inch and 4 inch.

Here is my steps:

1)I created a new storyboard. File - New File - User Interface - Storyboard for iPad.

2)I changed target devices from iphone to universal.

3)I set main storyboard in iPad deployment info section.

4)Finally i copied everything on storyboard for 4 inch iphone and paste it on new storyboard for ipad. (I did not change anything including screen sizes)

I tried to put just one view controller on new storyboard but the result was same.

Then i run and built my app on iPad simulator. And i get an error below:

2013-07-28 19:02:42.151 Test[40038:12203] *** Terminating app due to uncaught

This is in AppDelegate.m

-(void)initializeStoryBoardBasedOnScreenSize {

if ([UIDevice currentDevice].userInterfaceIdiom == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone)
{    // The iOS device = iPhone or iPod Touch


    CGSize iOSDeviceScreenSize = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size;

    if (iOSDeviceScreenSize.height == 480)
    {   // iPhone 3GS, 4, and 4S and iPod Touch 3rd and 4th generation: 3.5 inch screen (diagonally measured)

        // Instantiate a new storyboard object using the storyboard file named Storyboard_iPhone35
        UIStoryboard *iPhone35Storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"Storyboard_iphone35" bundle:nil];

        // Instantiate the initial view controller object from the storyboard
        UIViewController *initialViewController = [iPhone35Storyboard instantiateInitialViewController];

        // Instantiate a UIWindow object and initialize it with the screen size of the iOS device
        self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];

        // Set the initial view controller to be the root view controller of the window object
        self.window.rootViewController  = initialViewController;

        // Set the window object to be the key window and show it
        [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
    }

    if (iOSDeviceScreenSize.height == 568)
    {   // iPhone 5 and iPod Touch 5th generation: 4 inch screen (diagonally measured)

        // Instantiate a new storyboard object using the storyboard file named Storyboard_iPhone4
        UIStoryboard *iPhone4Storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil];

        // Instantiate the initial view controller object from the storyboard
        UIViewController *initialViewController = [iPhone4Storyboard instantiateInitialViewController];

        // Instantiate a UIWindow object and initialize it with the screen size of the iOS device
        self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];

        // Set the initial view controller to be the root view controller of the window object
        self.window.rootViewController  = initialViewController;

        // Set the window object to be the key window and show it
        [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
    }

} else if ([UIDevice currentDevice].userInterfaceIdiom == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad)

{   // The iOS device = iPad

    UISplitViewController *splitViewController = (UISplitViewController *)self.window.rootViewController;
    UINavigationController *navigationController = [splitViewController.viewControllers lastObject];
    splitViewController.delegate = (id)navigationController.topViewController;

}
}

Would anyone be able to explain whats wrong?

Last object in your split view controller is not UINavigationController. Check your storyboard.

UINavigationController *navigationController = [splitViewController.viewControllers lastObject];
splitViewController.delegate = (id)navigationController.topViewController;
