I am moving my project (Xcode 2.5) to Xcode 3.2 and it have to be OS

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.
