Dynamically load storyBoards

I'm working on a storyBoard loading system and I need to check for the presence of a specific storyBoard.

I made a function checking for it (given a specific StoryBoard name) :

(NSString *)ressourceNameForDevice:(NSString *)rootName extension:(NSString *)ext
{
    NSString *retString = rootName;
    NSString *iPadString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@-iPad", rootName];
    NSString *iPhoneWideString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@-wide", rootName];

    if (IS_IPAD &&
        (nil != [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:iPadString ofType:ext]))
    {
        retString = iPadString;
    }

    if (IS_IPHONE_WIDE &&
        (nil != [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:iPhoneWideString ofType:ext]))
    {
        retString = iPhoneWideString;
    }

    return retString;
}

I'm calling this function with @"storyboard" as extension argument.

My probleme is that the function fails on nil != [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:iPhoneWideString ofType:ext], even though the storyBoard IS present in my project and bundle, it doesn't get found. I guess I should give it another extension, I tried with @"nib" too but no more result.

Anyone knows how to check that ?

Solved it. The problem was that once a storyBoard gets compiled the ressource extension isn't .storyboard but .storyboardc, same way that a .xib compiled file has the .nib extension.

Lets say you have "xyz.storyboard" in your project to be loaded. Then write it as:

    UIStoryboard *mainStoryboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"xyz"
                                                             bundle: nil];

It should do the needful.
