Answer 1

It appears that ibtool is not able to handle a storyboard created with an earlier xcode version where the text attribute can be omitted on a UILabel. Easiest way to fix is to open the storyboard in your editor of choice and add the missing text attributes, text="".

Answer 2

I fix the bugs. There is 2 label on viewController with no text in tne textlabel. I put some text (Label) and now the app build and run well.
