Hello,
I'm trying to create a XIB based application in XCode 8.3 but the option to Start a project without a Storyboard has been removed. Here are the steps I am taking to set up my project:
1. Create a new Cocoa Application.
2. Delete Main.Storyboard
3. Delete ViewController.swift
4. Add a new file to the project - a Cocoa Class - subclass of NSWindowController, Also create XIB file checked - named MainWindowController
5. Under General project info- delete reference to Main for Main Interface
6. in app delegate:
add var mainWindowController: NSWindowController?
in applicationDidFinishLaunching add
let mainWindowController = MainWindowController(windowNibname: "MainWindowController")
mainWindowController.showWindow(self)
self.mainWindowController = mainWindowController
7. in project preferences under the info section add
Main nib file base name MainWindowController
This does display my window when I run it however, i get the error:
Failed to connect (window) outlet from (NSApplication) to (NSWindow): missing setter or instance variable
and if I add any controls and connect them i get a similar error stating they couldn't be connected.
I am trying to follow along with Big Nerd Ranch's book "Cocoa Programming for OS X" and most of the projects do not use storyboards.
Please Help!
Phil
