                 Key: CB-2074
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-2074
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: CLI
    Affects Versions: 2.2.0
            Reporter: Filip Maj
            Assignee: Filip Maj
             Fix For: 2.3.0


Hi,

Ive hit this a few times recently, Im running xCode 4.5.2 with all other settings default

I start with the following steps to set up a 'vanilla' ios project
{code}
$ cordova create testproj
$ cd testproj
$ cordova platform add ios
$ cd /Dev/testproj/ios // location of my cordova project
$ open HelloCordova.xcodeproj // default name
{code}

Then

if i launch the app as in the iPhone simulator 6.0 it (mostly) runs first time
if i launch the app in the iPad simulator 6.0 i get a SIGABRT with a break on main with an error that says
"Could not load NIB in bundle"

having looked more deeply into this, it is because there is a blank entry for nib file in the plist file - this is known to cause an issue in some case : NOTE: I do have colleagues who do not hit this straight away.

Anyway, to resolve this problem (after digging around in the scripts) i went to this file

{{/usr/local/lib/node_modules/cordova/lib/ios/bin/templates/project/__TESTING__/__TESTING__-Info.plist}}

and removed these two elements from the bottom of the file

{code}
 <key>NSMainNibFile</key>

 <string></string>

 <key>NSMainNibFile~ipad</key>

 <string></string>
{code}

i can create as many ios platform apps as i want now and they run in either simulator without hitch. Just as a note, its worth creating a blank "universal" app and looking in the app delegate to see what apple do now with the nibs (and also note that they no longer use those to settings (that i removed above) in the plist file.

I hope this helps someone.
