There's a way to "compile" or "protect" .nibs, after having used IB?
The nibs are already "compiled" when IB saves them out. There isn't
an extra stage where you say, "I'm really done with development so
now make it into a 'real' nib."
I don't know what you mean by protecting a nib. If you're worried
that a user will open the application package and modify the nib such
that your application no longer works correctly, then isn't that the
user's issue? They could've done that in the OS 9 world by playing
with resources. If you get a complaint, tell them they had no
business playing with stuff inside the package.
If modifying the nib would, for example, give the user access to
something they're not necessarily supposed to, then it'd be better to
make changes to your code to handle this case.
