iOS app with Storyboard crashing with *'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'The NIB data is invalid.'

We have an app built using iOS 6 sdk (deployable on iOS 5) using Storyboards which crashes in iOS 5 (only) with this error:

[myApp] * Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'The NIB data is invalid.'

The scene in question is a subclass of UITableViewController which contains a UITableView and an added UITextView property.

I have no idea what is invalid about this or why it works fine in iOS 6.

Any ideas?

PS: I saw what appeared to be a loosely similar question regarding nibs and creating custom cells which suggested turning off auto-layout, but this app uses storyboards, has static cells, and auto-layout is already off.

I'd suggest the following checklist

  1. make sure autolayout checkbox is not ticked
  2. in IB, goto File Inspector > Document Versioning > Deployment and make sure it is iOS 5.1 or lower, and > Development make sure it is Previous Version of XCode (XCode 4.5)
  3. change the File Type from [Default - Interface Builder Cocoa Touch XIB] to any other C source code or something, then go to other file and come back and change back to [Default - Interface Builder Cocoa Touch XIB]

The 3rd checklist has saved me a number of times.. AAPL really have very lame and buggy development tools

Be sure that you don't have "Use Autolayout" enabled for that view. It will throw that error when ran on anything older then ios 6.
