I downloaded an app with nice design and unpacked it's contents. I'd like to look at the NIBs to see how the app is put together. I renamed the NIBs to XIB, but Interface Builder won't open them ("Interface Builder was unable to determine the type of PageView.xib"). Is there any way to force it to open the file. Would I be able to see an...

For some reason, the method updateText never gets invoked. Anyone have any id...

Are th...
