iOS app with Storyboard crashing with *'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'The NIB data is invalid.'

Question

We have an app built using iOS 6 sdk (deployable on iOS 5) using Storyboards which crashes in iOS 5 (only) with this error:

[myApp] * Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'The NIB data is invalid.'

The scene in question is a subclass of UITableViewController which contains a UITableView and an added UITextView property.

I have no idea what is invalid about this or why it works fine in iOS 6.

Any ideas?

PS: I saw what appeared to be a loosely similar question regarding nibs and creating custom cells which suggested turning off auto-layout, but this app uses storyboards, has static cells, and auto-layout is already off.

Answer 1

Be sure that you don't have "Use Autolayout" enabled for that view. It will throw that error when ran on anything older then ios 6.
