Interface Builder - Xcode link broken with iPad-converted xib

In porting my app to a universal iPhone / iPad app, the xibs I created by using Interface Builder's "Create iPad Version" will not link to the project properly: They don't pick up on classes and images from the project file.

IB tells me that "there is no xcode project associated with this document" with a gray light in the status bar. Yet the xib is in the project, was launched by double-clicking in xcode, and both are open. The old xibs work fine though. I don't understand what could be causing this.

So, my question is, how do I restore the link?

See this link - cocoabuilder-xcode-and-ib-connection

I could solve my problem by

1.quit IB
2.quit xcode / close project file
3.Open Xcode project file by double clicking the file from Finder.
4.Open the nib file from xcode.

This is not an iPad-specific error. I have it on an iPhone app, but I have just moved my project to an SCM repository and all my xib image links are missing. I'm trying desperately to locate any fixed links. Nothing yet.

Will post if I find anything. What I discover may help you.

EDIT: I just reread your original post and mine symptoms are not exactly the same. I'll post what I find anyway.

EDIT: I got mine to work by doing the following:

  1. Did a Build-Clean All
  2. Did a TOUCH on the troublesome xib file
  3. Did another Build-Clean All

All my links were fixed after this. This may not help with your issue, but it worked for me. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Same problem here. Copied the project folder to a new location and re-opened new projected, sorted it out.

Making sure the resource path will fix this issue, it seems.
