iphone - 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: '-[UIViewController _loadViewFromNibNamed:bundle:] loaded the GameView nib but the view outlet was not set

Question

This is not the same situation as the multitude of other similar questions here.

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

You might be thinking "do as it says, connect the File's Owner to the View in IB!". But the thing is, I don't even HAVE a GameView.xib in my project or even in the project directory.

I do have a "GameViewController.m" and matching "GameViewController.xib" in my project. Using that GameViewController is what brings up this error, but I don't understand where it gets the idea to try and load "GameView.xib". Shouldn't it use "GameViewController.xib" instead?

If I grep my project directory, I do see it referenced from "UserInterfaceState.xcuserstate".

<string>file://localhost/Users/bemmu/Dropbox/b2/iphone/ValleyStory/ValleyStory/GameView.xib</string>

This mentioned file does not exist. I might have had a file with that name before and renamed/deleted it, but it's not being referenced to from anywhere that I can see in IB.

Did I manage to confuse xcode?

Answer 1

My solution was a little different.

1. Click on the xib in interface builder
2. Select File's Owner on the left
3. Open the File's Owner's connections inspector
4. If the view property isn't yet wired, control-drag it to the view icon (under the file's owner and first responder icons).
