I have 3 .xib files, two were generated by Xcode (mainWindow.xib, DetailView.xib) and I created one (WordSearchViewController.xib). I selected "Make Localizable" from the Get Info window in Xcode. I then dragged the xibs in Xcode to a group named Resources. I ran the app in the simulator and it worked. HOWEVER, anytime I change something in IB, I have to go through a voodoo like ritual - 1) delete the references in Xcode, 2) in Finder drag the files out of the English.lproj folder and into the project folder, 3) drag the files from Finder back into the project group, 4) select the files, click Get Info and Make Localizable, 5) drag the localized files back to the Resources group in Xcode. I can almost live with this but the app will not run on my iPad - only the simulator. Obviously, I have a big hole in my knowledge of Xcode OR Apple still needs to do work on IB. What in the world is going on?! What am I misunderstanding about IB? I searched other questions before writing this, but just in case the answer is out there somewhere - please excuse me. I am at the height of frustration.
