Could not load NIB in bundle

Hi,


I have a XIB in a project that targets iOS 8. It was working just fine, until I localized it into 12 languages (including base) by using the file inspector. The outcome is that now I have been stuck with this error: Could not load NIB in bundle

...for over a day. This is on XCode 6 and trying things people suggested on StackOverflow have not helped. Instead of localizing it into 12 separate XIBs, Xcode has turned it into 12 string files, which would be nicer if only I could get it working. But at this point, I would even consider abandoning the approach if I could figure out how to convert these string files into XIBs again.

Are you still stuck on this?

I've seen this happen for two different reasons:

  • There's something stale in your app build or install. You should do a clear build, remove the app from the device, and try again.

  • The app is not building correctly. Use "Show Package Contents" in the Finder to look at your app's structure and verify that it is as you expect it to be.
