doesNotRecognizeSelector exception while running ibtool on a xib resource files

问题

Anyone knows why I get this crash from the ibtool?

ibtool --generate-strings-file "my.strings" "myViewController.xib"

Result:

回答1:

This seems to be a bug in the new Version of ibtool. In my case it was a UISearchBar in which the placeholder text was set.

Even removing the placeholder text does not resolve the issue, since Interface Builder leaves droppings in the .xib. Removing the search bar completely and adding a fresh one without setting the placeholder text fixes the exception.

One workaround for this problem: use $DEVELOPER_DIR/usr/bin/ibtool3 which seems to be the old version of the tool.
