Interface Builder was unable to determine the type of "Main_iPad.storyboard"

Question

i get the above error when trying to archive my app ready for uploading, not sure what it means, i first got an error that said the main iPad storyboard was missing so i copied the iPhone storyboard and then changes the source to tell it, it was an iPad storyboard (followed another question on here)

the code i've highlighted is part of the code i changed, i also changed "targetRuntime="iOS.CocoaTouch"

following this question, Converting Storyboard from iPhone to iPad

any ideas where i'm going wrong?

From your Storyboard, Utilities (on the right) > File Inspector (first on the left, looks like a document). Under Name YourStoryboard.storyboard, what does is say for 'Type'? — bauerMusic, Jun 12 '14 at 07:28
Do you have a "Default Interface Builder **Cocoa Touch** Storyboard" in pop menu there? Is so, give it a shot. — bauerMusic, Jun 12 '14 at 18:32
I sometimes get this being stuck in a version comparison mode. — Charles Merriam, Oct 05 '14 at 09:12

Your 'targetRuntime' should be "iOS.CocoaTouch.iPad" for iPad storyboards. One of mines :

<document type="com.apple.InterfaceBuilder3.CocoaTouch.Storyboard.XIB" version="3.0" toolsVersion="9531" systemVersion="15C50" targetRuntime="iOS.CocoaTouch.iPad" propertyAccessControl="none" initialViewController="XXX-XXX-XX">

You can right-click on your storyboard file inside Xcode file inspector and click "Open as source-code" then update this value.
