Could not load NIB in bundle error in storyboard

Question

I am working with storyboards for the first time.

My app is crashing whenever I run the build for very first time where it is downloading all the data from server. It's showing me error in UIViewController-w6Q-ra-j06 although there is no such file with this name in my project.

Any pointers or help would be appreciated.

2013-08-14 15:40:42.967 storeFlix[1614:c07] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 
'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Could not load NIB in bundle: 'NSBundle

directory 'StoreFlixIpad.storyboardc''

Solution 1

It seems it was memory issue. Although I am using ARC still I need to manage memory allocation by setting variables to nil.

Solution 2

Shift+Command+K

I was getting this error on a fresh (empty) project after creating a storyboard file and setting it as the main interface in the project's settings.... drove me nuts for 15 minutes.

Solution 3

Shift + Command + K

or

Product > Clean

This fixed it for me.

Solution 4

There can be many reasons for this particular problem, but first check Target membership and XIB name, as advised here: Could not load NIB in bundle

Check also very carefully if there is any kind of control who's name has changed in header files, but the referencing outlet stayed the same.

Solution 5

What is the name of your storyboard file? Are you loading it programmatically? Or is it specified in your project settings?

See if you used:

StoreFlixIpad.storyboardc

instead of:

StoreFlixIpad.storyboard

I have seen almost all the questions. It mostly says there is something with that file. But I don't have any such file UIViewController-w6Q-ra-j06 in y project in which it is showing this error.

This is internal designation of the file, not the filename itself.

I've edited my answer. I remember I had a problem and that was the one causing it.

I have checked that as well. Actually initially it's downloading lot's of data. If I restrict it to 5-10. It's working fine. If I am trying to save all the data it is getting crashed with this crash report.

[mbpro]

Does it work without saving data? What kind of data? Where and how do you save it? Do you persist a managed object? IS there any pointer in such object to your view controller?

[Baby Groot]

Yes. It's StoreFlixIpad.storyboard only. And it's working fine also if number of records are less.

I had the same problem with brand-new just created project. Clean helped! Thanks a lot!

Thanks, I wasn't aware there was a keyboard format available.

Damn, this is still happening in 2016.

Can't upvote this enough...this did it for me (the deselecting / selecting part especially; clean project by itself was not enough).
