This isn’t true. Application, Window, View, Menu and Empty XIB file templates
are available when you create a new file in Xcode 9 beta 2. Do you need me to
email you a screenshot of the dialog?
While there’s no Xcode 9 project template that gives a main XIB file initially,
you can create your own main XIB easily, and change the project to use it in a
couple of steps.
(There’s one thing to change in info.plist, one override to remove in
Document.swift, and you’ll likely want to create a window controller subclass.
I think that’s it.)
Clearly, Apple *wants* you to use storyboards (a hint that you really shouldn’t
ignore), but if you want to stick with XIBs, there’s nothing preventing you,
yet.
