Loaded the nib file but the view outlet was not set

Question

I deleted the universityPicker.xib accidentally and then made a new one with the same name but no connection could be done. The file crashes and gives this message

reason: '-[UIViewController _loadViewFromNibNamed:bundle:] loaded the "universityPicker" nib but the view outlet was not set."

How I can fix it?

What do u mean no connection can be done ? – IronManGill Jul 26 '12 at 08:21 — IronManGill, Jul 26 '12 at 08:21

Open the universityPicker.XIB file
- Click on file's owner icon on the left bar
- Click on the third tab in the right-hand sidebar
- Under "Custom Class" at the top, make sure Class is the name of the ViewController that should correspond to this view. If not, enter it
- In the right-hand sidebar, click on the last tab
- You should see "outlets" with "view" under it. Drag the circle next to it over to the "view" icon on the left bar
- Save the xib and re-run

EXTREMELY HELPFUL!! :-) I was testing the possibility of putting all my views into a Presentation folder. I received this error and knew that all my subviews were hooked up. The last 3 bullet of your answer was to magic trick. Thank you. – Patricia Feb 19 '14 at 16:14

In the Interface Builder you should connect the View to the File's Owner.

i can't connect files owner to view or any object and visa versa – JaNa Saadeddin Jul 26 '12 at 08:24
Then set first the File's Owner's class ( 3rd tab on the Utilities pane on the right ) to your viewController's name. – Templar Jul 26 '12 at 08:26
