Story Board or without Story Board

I have been making the native iPhone app and I have never used a xib, I mainly used to make the application in run time based, but know with the introduction of Main Story Board. I just want to know which one will be easier for using run time based which I mainly used to or start using story board.

Both have its own advantage and Storyboard has more options and ease when used in the right way (that is why it is introduced!).

By using storyboard

  • You can avoid so many line of code for page navigation and all
  • Complete picture of project is visible

By xib

  • Used a lot and hence more easy
  • Independent,so can be worked better
  • For working as a team xib is preferrable since the conflicts can be less if each team member working in seperate files

MY SOLUTION
Since it is possible to use both in same project. I use both in my projects. To take the both advantages according to my requirement.

You'll probably want to use a Storyboard(s) in the long run. However, there are pros and cons:

Pros

  1. You can see your whole project
  2. You avoid a whole lot of nasty code
  3. You can visually 'hook' stuff together

Cons

  1. Only available >iOS 5.0 <<<<Huge!

In my personal experience, I usually use Storyboards - the percentage of devices running < iOS 5 is actually quite low.
