Since you elided your header file, this begs a question – is this iOS or OS X?
If I’m not mistaken, subclasses of NSView do not get -initWithCoder:, but rather -initWithFrame:, which begs the question of have you confirmed that your -initWithCoder: method is being called?

Looking for a workaround, I found this recommendation in a couple of Stack Overflow and other web pages as well as a YouTube video. It enables the button to work, but unfortunately it zeros all the integers in MyView.

It was zeroed and then incremented after clicking on Button in the View. Similarly, k is initialized to 99 and then zeroed. Both are ivars in MyView.h.

Having the IBAction in MyView is desirable for directly relating its functions to the rest of MyView, rather than indirectly from AppDelegate. On the other hand, Xcode may have very good reasons – unknown to me – for restricting IBAction to AppDelegate. Maybe timing?
