iOS 6 loadNibNamed loads nib of iphone5 in 3.5 inch phones

Question

I have a UIView subclass ( PopupView ) and two xbis for it: PopupView.xib and PopupView~iphone5.xib .

When I call the xib:

    if ( screenHeight >= 568 ) {
        subviewArray = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"PopupView~iphone5" owner:self options:nil];
    } else {
        subviewArray = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"PopupView" owner:self options:nil];
    }

In iOS 7 when testing with 3.5inch phone it loads the correct PopupView.xib and with 4inch phone it loads PopupView~iphone5.xib. But when testing with iOS 6 and 3.5 inch phone, althought the code passes from the "else" statement and theoritically it loads the PopupView.xib , it actually returns the iphone 5 xib ( the view diplayed is the one designed for iphone5 ) and the loaded view's height is 548, not 480.

Any suggestions?

Rather then guessing and making theoretical conjectures as to which execution path is followed, can you please just use log statements or a breakpoint? Also, I can only guess that the way you're calculating `screenHeight` perhaps doesn't work right for iOS 6, so include that code. — nhgrif, Jun 28 '14 at 12:32
@Ramdy you are right, it was my typo, but 568 ( iphone 5 screen height ) is >= for both 548 and 568 values. So this does not solve the case. — Panos, Jun 28 '14 at 12:32
@nhgrif Iam not guessing. I have checked it with the debugger and yes the code loads the part inside the else statement. This part is called: subviewArray = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"PopupView" owner:self options:nil]; but still loads the iphone5 xib — Panos, Jun 28 '14 at 12:34
@nhgrif I have a different design for iphone5. Actually this view is a "fullsize" view and has different sizes in some labels and a webview. So it is easy to understand which xib was loaded — Panos, Jun 28 '14 at 12:37
What if you give your nibs completely different names? Try to not use the ~iphone5. Just randomNameA someOtherNameB. — nhgrif, Jun 28 '14 at 12:40
@nhgrif I tried it. Still the same issue. Now my xib for iphone5 is called PopUpViewForIphone5 — Panos, Jun 28 '14 at 12:58
pfff I fixed it. All I needed was to Clean Full build and also delete the app from the simulator and rebuild. — Panos, Jun 28 '14 at 13:07

Try using following code.

-(id) init{
    UIScreen* mainscr = [UIScreen mainScreen];
    CGSize screenSize = mainscr.currentMode.size;
    CGFloat screenHeight = screenSize.height;
    if (screenHeight == 1136) {
        self = [super initWithNibName:@"PopupView~iphone5" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
    }
    else
    {
        self = [super initWithNibName:@"PopupView" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
    }
}

It is working for me.

as I said... the code gets in the Correct place of the if-else statement. The loadNibNamed works wrong. Also Iam not loading a UIViewController, but a UIView – Panos Jun 28 '14 at 12:39
