After upgrading to Xcode 3.2.5, I now get the following warning in the Build results, repeated 17 times, once for each nib in my project:

/* com.apple.ibtool.warnings */
/Users/jk/Documents/Projects/MyApp/Resources/SomeXib.xib: warning: ibtool encountered an error while loading the Interface Builder plug-in from /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/Library/Interface Builder/Plug-ins/IBCocoaTouchPlugin.ibplugin.
    Underlying Errors:
        Description: The bundle “IBCocoaTouchPlugin.ibplugin” couldn’t be loaded because its executable couldn’t be located.
        Failure Reason: The bundle’s executable couldn’t be located.
        Recovery Suggestion: Try reinstalling the bundle.

So I looked at the indicated path:

   /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/Library/Interface Builder/Plug-ins/IBCocoaTouchPlugin.ibplugin

opened the package and found that indeed its Contents/MacOS/ was empty.

Since I'm not doing any iPhone development, just Mac, I went into my Time Machine backup which has Xcode 3.2.2, and found that the old plug-in had an executable in Contents/MacOS/, and also it had many more items in its Contents/Resources.  So I deleted the whole IBCocoaTouchPlugin.ibplugin and then copied into its place the old one from Time Machine using command sudo cp -Rfp.  Now everything looks good.  There is an executable at Contents/MacOS/IBCocoaTouchPlugin.  Its size is 2,728,080 bytes, owner is root, group is admin and permissions are octal 775.

I quit Xcode and relaunched.  Opened my project, cleaned, rebuilt.

Result: Still get the 17 warnings, but now the Underlying Errors are different:
    Underlying Errors:
        Description: The bundle “IBCocoaTouchPlugin” couldn’t be loaded because it is damaged or missing necessary resources.
        Failure Reason: The bundle is damaged or missing necessary resources.
        Debug Description: dlopen_preflight(/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/Library/Interface Builder/Plug-ins/IBCocoaTouchPlugin.ibplugin/Contents/MacOS/IBCocoaTouchPlugin): Library not loaded: @rpath/iPhoneSimulatorRemoteClient.framework/Versions/A/iPhoneSimulatorRemoteClient  Referenced from: /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/Library/Interface Builder/Plug-ins/IBCocoaTouchPlugin.ibplugin/Contents/MacOS/IBCocoaTouchPlugin  Reason: image not found
        Recovery Suggestion: Try reinstalling the bundle.

How do I "reinstall the bundle"?  Alternatively, is there any reason to believe that redownloading and reinstalling the whole Xcode 3.2.5 would work any better the second time?

Jerry
