替代initWithNibName

Question

The tutorial I'm using is outdated (Before storyboards). It says that initWithNibName gets called when the app loads. However I've read that that's no longer true.

Also, I'm getting "Expected ';' after top level declarator" for this,

-(id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{


}

Which is probably an unrelated problem.

Answer 1

It is difficult to give a complete answer without more information. You are correct in that initWithNibName is not called when using storyboards. Most likely you can remove the initWithNibName method and ignore the code in the tutorial's initWithNibName method as most likely it just initializes a view controller using a xib file (which you probably are not using since it sounds like you set up your project to use storyboards) that was created in interface builder.

Or it might be easier to follow the tutorial if you just remove storyboards from your project and do it the old way (using xib files). That is probably what I would do.

To follow up with your comment: You could place that code in viewDidLoad.

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
