Delete MainStoryBorad file from your project.

Delete MainStroryBoard Key from info.plist file.

Clear MainInterface option from Project setttings.

Create New UIViewController with XIB file named "MyViewController"

In your AppDelegate.h add @property for New Controller "MyViewController"

In your AppDelegate.m update didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method this way.

-(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
        self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]] ;

     MyViewController *viewController = [[MyViewController alloc]     initWithNibName:@"MyViewController" bundle:nil];
     UINavigationController *nav = [[UINavigationController alloc]  initWithRootViewController:viewController];
     self.window.rootViewController = nav;

     [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];

     return YES;
}

Please find the below link and Check with things.. 1. Info.plist or General Info -> Removing main Interface 2. Check with .xib connections -> Custom class is added, view connection in .xib

I think it is better to use storyboards than xib if your application is not that much complicated with large number of UI View Controllers. If you want to remove storyboard from project and use nib to use with the development do the steps with this link:

Here are the steps how I am doing.

  1. Create a Empty project or If you have already created no worries, just remove StoryBoard entry from plist as @trick suggested.

  2. delete MainStoryBorad file from your project

  3. Create New UIViewController with XIB file named "MyViewController"

  4. In your AppDelegate.h add @property for New Controller "MyViewController"

  5. In your AppDelegate.m update didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method this way.

-(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:
(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
            self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]] ;

             MyViewController *viewController = [[MyViewController alloc]     initWithNibName:@"MyViewController" bundle:nil];
             UINavigationController *nav = [[UINavigationController alloc]  initWithRootViewController:viewController];
             self.window.rootViewController = nav;

             [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];

             return YES;
        }

Maybe you have to remove the Main Interface in your project settings.

Did you initialize the window and made it key?

Here is an implementation of one of my apps:

self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
self.window.rootViewController = [[DDHDemoViewController alloc] init];
self.window.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;

remove Main storyboard file base name. It's .plist.

The reason it's showing a black screen is because there is nothing configured in your FirstViewController class. Try setting firstView.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor]; right before the return YES' and you'll see that the FirstViewController is in fact loading; it just doesn't have any configuration besides what you've done in the init method of your FirstViewController class.

Honestly, configuring ViewControllers outside of the storyboard is not fun for beginners. I don't know why you want to do it, but your alternatives are using .nibs or adding everything manually. I encourage you not to delete your storyboard, but if you must, your code is fine. Just delete the storyboard file, or better yet, just don't use it until you decide to come back to it because it's a better idea.
