Hey Lyndsey -

A NIB file contains many hash based unordered data structures, and won't have a byte for byte identical representation from one save/ compile operation to the next - even when the represented interface is identical.

Hello All,

I've been asked to look into an oddity that concerns our build team. Our XIB files are being compiled to NIB files differently each time even though no changes have been made.

Everything works fine, but we would expect that the if the XIB file hasn't changed, the NIB file should be an exact match every time it is created.

Can someone explain what is going on? Is this typical?

For example, the md5 digest for the MainMenu.nib file for the first compile, then the second will be:

41b45f46eede541399e36db5b2e10dfa
a59180e3d2310b88480f830ca867615a

Thanks for any information.

Regards,
Lyndsey Ferguson
