iOS: IBOutlet nil in Xcode 6

Using iOS 8 and Xcode 6. I embedded a UIWebView in a controller using a storyboard, and hooked everything up. When I run it, though, the webView is coming up nil. Any thoughts?

I encountered this problem myself and finally found a solution: At some point Apple changed the way View Controllers are linked with their xib files. Xcode no longer automatically matches, for example, ViewController.swift and ViewController.xib. Instead you must explicitly specify a nib name in your code. Try calling:

NSBundle.mainBundle().loadNibNamed("ViewController", owner: self, options: nil)

or, in Objective C:

[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"ViewController" owner:self options:nil];

in your VC's initializer, before you use any IBOutlets (replacing "ViewController" with the name of your View Controller). This is what finally worked for me (in Swift).

What helped me is this answer #1 here.

  1. Clean project
  2. Close XCode
  3. Delete all contents of ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/
  4. Restart MacOs

Exactly in this order.
