Create UIViewController xib file for my existing ViewController file in Xcode 8

Question

I have an existing View Controller file with a set of code. I want to create an interface builder file for the ViewController and link them. Right now i don't seem to find UIViewController option in the New file options as give here.

Can any body tell me how to achieve this?

Answer 1

Now Apple preferably recommend to use storyboard as its easy to use and handle view controllers but still if you want to create separate view controller Please follow these steps.

1- Create objective c file or swift as you like
2- Change the UIView class to UIViewController
3- Create xib file
4- Add UIViewController object as shown in pic
5- Select the controller go to the 'Show inspector identity' and set the controller custom class
