I am moving my project (Xcode 2.5) to Xcode 3.2 and it have to be OS 10.4 compatible. Most of the resource files are still in NIB files (2.x). After editing & saving some NIB files, I notice the files now are now consist of designable.nib & keyedobjects.nib. Previously it was classes.nib, info.nib & keyedobjects.nib. To save me yet another svn headache, I decide to convert the files to XIB. However I am unsure of XIB or rather flatten NIB is compatible with OS 10.4 and have look up the documentations, does not seems to mention anything about backward compatible.

Is XIB, 10.4 compatible ?

Hi Peter.

Yes, I've used xibs in projects that run on 10.4. Just make sure to set the xib's deployment target to 10.4 in Interface Builder.

According to the Interface Builder 3.0 release notes, "A XIB file is a flat version of a nib file, encoded in a human readable XML format. When used with the Xcode v3.x toolchain, they are compiled during the build phase into a flat NIB file—a NIB with just the keyedobjects.nib data. The resulting file is deployable on any recent Mac OS X version, but cannot be opened for development as it is just a deployment file." Of course, 'any recent Mac OS X version' is maddeningly vague, but they say the same thing about NIB 3.x and NIB 2.x files, so you should be safe.
