iOs device-specific resources not working - ~iPad loading default XIB - universal app

Question

I\'m making a universal app based on the Utility App template. I\'ve selected a universal app and the MainView.xib and MainView~iPad.xib work properly on both device types.

Answer 1

It can be done automatically based on the name, no worries. The only problem is you'll need to switch your naming convention. MainView.xib will be your iPad xib and MainView~iphone.xib will be your iPhone xib. Then it should work perfectly for you and you don't have to do anything but alloc/init.

Answer 2

in the end i found the solution. it is really very very simple. The xib must be named ~ipad instead of ~iPad, and ~iphone instead of ~iPhone. The bad thing is the if you name them ~iPad, everything works in the simulator but it does not work on the real device.
