Xcode 4 .xib Create iPad Version

Question

I have an iPhone xib I want to turn into an iPad xib. In Xcode 3 there was a "Create iPad Version" menu option. How do I do this in Xcode 4?

I currently resized my xib, but when I turn on the simulated items (Navigation Bar, etc.) it shrinks the view back down to iPhone size.

Answer 1

This worked for me:

1. Make a copy of the .xib in the Finder.
2. Open the copied file in a text editor.
3. Change "com.apple.InterfaceBuilder3.CocoaTouch.XIB" to "com.apple.InterfaceBuilder3.CocoaTouch.iPad.XIB".
4. Change all instances of "IBCocoaTouchFramework" to "IBIPadFramework".
5. Search for sizes like {480, 320} and edit them. Or just reopen the file in Xcode and use the GUI to resize items as needed.

This also works in reverse, if you need to change an iPad xib into an iPhone xib.
