ios - nib but didn't get a UITableView

Question

My application works for iOS 5.1 but for iOS 6 simulator I get the following error.

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: '-[UITableViewController loadView] loaded the "MainListViewController" nib but didn't get a UITableView.'

I am subclassing UITableViewController and I don't want to change it.

The tableview is created programmatically, there is a dummy MainListViewController.xib to load from Mainwindow.xib Tab Bar Controller.

I also tried to delete MainListViewController.xib, remove it from the MainWindow.xib Tab Bar Controller, created the MainListViewController in AppDelegate and added it to Tab Bar Controller as UITabBarItem to get rid of this nib problem, but I still get the same error.

Answer 1

If you have a NIB for the UITableViewController subclass then its view outlet must be hooked up to a UITableView.

You're right to delete MainListViewController.xib and do it all in code, but the reason it didn't work for you is because the old XIB will not be deleted when you build & run. So, delete the app from the simulator and try again. It should work then.
