Could not find a storyboard named 'Main' in bundle NSBundle

Question

during the progress of my app I decided to change from using a UIStoryboard to .xib file, and now I get the error:

Could not find a storyboard named 'Main' in bundle NSBundle

How can I fix this problem within the Simulator part of my app?

Did you edit the `Info.plist` to remove the *Main Storyboard base file*? — trojanfoe, Sep 09 '14 at 08:07

Remove the "Main storyboard file base name" or "UIMainStoryboardFile" Key from your info.plist file.

Add these line to your action method

Where "Main" will be same as it as

let storyboard = UIStoryboard.init(name: "Main", bundle: nil)

let secondVc = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "ControllerName") as! ControllerName

present(secondVc, animated: true, completion: nil)

Since the question was about Objective-c swift code may not really help. – Starbax Aug 17 '20 at 09:47
