Is it possible to create custom UIViews that can be used as plugins on interface builder? So I can drag and drop them on interface bulder and see how the actual view looks like without havig to run the code to see the view.

It was possible to create plugins for older versions of Interface Builder, but I don't believe it's currently possible in Xcode 4. If you'd like that feature, the best thing to do is to file a bug report with Apple asking for it.

    Plug-ins for Cocoa Touch was never supported even before Xcode 4, only for Cocoa. – PeyloW Jul 26 '11 at 18:49

    That's true, but at this point they're not supported for *anything*. Apple engineers have often said that they use bug reports to help them prioritize new features, so it's always good to file one to register your wishes. – Caleb Jul 26 '11 at 18:52

No, Interface Plug-ins is not yet supported by Xcode 4, never was for iOS on older Xcode 3.x.

File a feature request at http://bugreport.apple.com to put more pressure on this issue.
