'NSInternalInconsistencyException' - unable to push uitableviewcontroller on uinavigationcontroller ios 6

Question

I am simply pushing a UITableviewController to navigation stack. Code works fine in both iOS 4.3 and 5 but crashes in iOS 6. Exception is:

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: '-[UIViewController _loadViewFromNibNamed:bundle:] loaded the "MenuController" nib but the view outlet was not set.'

I know this exception is raised when view outlet is not set. Outlet is set automatically by IB as you can see in figure, but still the same. What am I doing wrong?

Simple code pushing the controller:

MenuController *menu = [[MenuController alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStylePlain];
    menu.title = @"Watches";
    menu.MenuToBeDisplayed = @"main menu";
    [self.navigationController pushViewController:menu animated:YES];

Stack trace is:

EDIT:

I have removed nib file, and also initWithNibName: method, but I am still getting this stupid exception since yesterday. This will drive me crazy :(

Answer 1

With

MenuController *menu = [[MenuController alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStylePlain];

You aren't using your xib file at all becouse for initing contreoller with xib you need to use

initWithNibName:bundle: instead of initWithStyle:

and then set your controller's class on xib like this
