Im having trouble figuring out how to load a separate XIB for iPad or for iPhone in a Universal app.
Its easy enough to convert the Xcode project to Universal and have separate Main view interfaces.
My problem is the secondary view and getting it to have separate interfaces for both iPad and iPhone.
Please offer any help you can give as I have been working on this issue for days without success. Thanks in advance!

What are XIB files? From the point of view of the UI designer, XIB files contain the views or windows that you design in Interface Builder – the controls, their layout and properties, and their connections to your code. It is important to understand that on a technical level, XIB files are stored object graphs.
"xib" stands for Xml Interface Builder.
If you're trying to resolve any connection issues and have noticed that you need to edit a XIB file but have selected the Use Storyboards option when creating your project, simply right-click the Main. storyboard > click Open As > then click Source Code . This way you don't have to recreate the project from scratch.
I know that @indragie's answer is a very common one, but it's a common misunderstanding that will cause you a lot more work than you actually need to do.
As long as you name the xib files a certain way, they will be automatically selected for either iPhone or iPad. Check out my answer to this same problem on another post:
