How do storyboards work in iOS 5?

Question

I can't seem to figure out how they work. Please help! I can't figure out how to add .xib's to them either.

Answer 1

Maybe a tutorial would help you. This one seems to be quite simple and it has screenshots.

Edit: @Andz recommends this tutorial, which is a bit more beginner-friendly.

Answer 2

Apple provided a nice walkthrough in their "developer tools kickoff" video from WWDC. I found it helpful. If you're a registered developer, you can check it out here: https://developer.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2011/#developer-tools-kickoff

Answer 3

I have just created my own tutorial that outlines some of the new features of Storyboards check it out here http://www.scott-sherwood.com/?p=219. The WWDC video is a very good tutorial but there are somethings it doesn't cover, such as simple things like how do you set the entry point of your Storyboard,or how to get a handle to a popover that has been created by a Segue popover transition

I have also added a new practical example based on todo list that should help people build a deeper understanding please check it out.

Apple recently released (Jan, 2012) an example app with source code that uses Storyboards titled "Your Second iPhone App."
