I have installed xCode 4.0.2 on my mac mini, every thing is working fine, I have compiled some sample applications too, but the interface builder is missing in the directory Developer/Application while xCode.app is there.
Interface Builder is no longer a sperate app, it is fully integrated in Xcode 4.
Interface Builder is inbuilt with Xcode 4 now. So you can just select your .xib file and it will show at right side. You may need to select last icon on right side top navigator to display Interface builder.

I was using using Xcode 4.5 to create an iPad application yesterday and completed it. But today when I took that same Xcode project and tried to run it on an older machine running Xcode 4.2, it is giving me an error about IBNSLayoutConstraint. Which i guess was due to the new features that were included in the new Xcode 4.5. So I was thinking is there a way to open project from new Xcode in the older version without having to install a new Xcode and OSX.
I am not sure if this question is asked here yet or not, but i tried to find a solution but no luck in that either.
PS. I already know that the best solution is to not opent those projects in older version but that is not what i am looking for.
There is an option in the inspector window when you select the xib file that will not use the constrains under "Show file the inspector" in the inspector called "Use autolayout".
Here is a screen shot of it.
uncheck autolayout feature from each xib file the open your project on xcode4.2, it works on my case, as autolayout is only available in iOS6
I'm using a 13" Macbook Pro. I'm beginning a project for University; I'm making an iPhone application. I bought the DevKit but had some problems opening Xcode, I realiased I'd upgraded to Lion since I downloaded it and needed to upgrade, so I did, so Xcode 4.3.
Now I can use Xcode fine (as far as I can tell) but Interface Builder gives me this error when I try to make a new iPhone Application Template/Project:
This version of Interface Builder does not support documents of type "Interface Builder Cocoa Touch Document (XIB 3.x)" targeting "iPhone/iPod touch".
And this one if I try to make a blank one, of any other the other options:
Interface Builder was unable to open the document "Empty.xib". iPhone/iPod touch development requires the iOS 3.1 SDK.
Now, I checked, and according the the AppStore (which is where I was forced to download it from) iOS 5.0/5.1 SDK is included. I tried to redownload a few times but to no avail. I have a feeling this is something really stupid, so feel free to call me so.
You should be using Xcode itself to create, view, and modify xib files for iOS 5 projects. Interface Builder as a separate application is no longer provided by Apple for iOS development.
Xcode 4 allows creation of user interface files from the File > New > New File menu item. When you select a user interface file from Xcode's project navigator (which you can show via View > Navigators > Show Project Navigator or by pressing Cmd-1), a user interface editor appears where the source code editor typically appears.
Is it possible to create custom UIViews that can be used as plugins on interface builder?
So I can drag and drop them on interface bulder and see how the actual view looks like without havig to run the code to see the view.
It was possible to create plugins for older versions of Interface Builder, but I don't believe it's currently possible in Xcode 4. If you'd like that feature, the best thing to do is to file a bug report with Apple asking for it.
No, Interface Plug-ins is not yet supported by Xcode 4, never was for iOS on older Xcode 3.x.
File a feature request at http://bugreport.apple.com to put more pressure on this issue.
In Xcode 3, if I double click an xib file, it doesn't open it with interface builder. It does absolutely nothing. How can I solve this ? I have Xcode 3 with iPhone SDK 4.0.2 installed.
I have faced this problem in a new Mac or sdk installation. Try opening the Interface builder app first. When it is open, try opening your xibs.
Try rightclicking the .xib and selecting open or open with.
Maybe it could work that way.
It should work when you double click the .xib. If not Click the interface builder icon in the dock at bottom after you double clicked the .xib.
I really don't understand this. I downloaded the recent version of xCode 3.2.5 and Interface Builder 3.2.5. I follow these steps:
Create: Window Based Application (iPhone)
Double Click: MainWindow.xib
-- Launches Interface Builder --
selects -> File -> Build and Go in XCode
I get the following error in Interface Builder:
"Interface Builder could not build and go in Xcode.
Build failed (1 error)"
But there are no build errors in Xcode. I don't quite understand what is happening since I am new to this platform. Can anyone assist?
It's generally not a good idea to Build and Run from Interface Builder. Just switch back (cmd-tab) to XCode and hit cmd-R to Build and Run from there.
Interface Builder is trying to run the xib itself instead of running your Application.
Have you added any code?
The best place to start is with one of the getting started documents. If you are a registered developer, there are also videos available in the developer center.
Just save and Build and Go in Xcode. I have a feeling it's because it's a UIWindow rather than a UIViewController. Why did you choose a window-based project?
