STORYBOARD EXCEPTION - Storyboard doesn't contain a view controller with identifier

I am currently developing an iOS application for both iPhone and iPad. I'm trying to show a NavigationController to make a module that shows files. In an iPhone it works just fine, but I can´t get it to work in iPad.

I'm getting the following error: 

'Storyboard (<UIStoryboard: 0x919b200>) doesn't contain a view controller with identifier 'FilesNavigation''

and this is the code: 

case 10: // Files
{
  UINavigationController *navigationController = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"FilesNavigation"];

  FilesViewController *filesViewController = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"Files"];

  [navigationController pushViewController:filesViewController animated:YES];

  self.slidingViewController.topViewController = navigationController;

  break;
}

And in my storyboard I have already set the Storyboard ID for the navigation controller.

>##Custom Class 
>Class: UINavigationController
>##Identity
>Storyboard ID: FilesNavigation

I used this code for another case on the switch/case block for other module and it works for iPad too, its the first time that I have this error.

Here's another case:

There are two localized storyboards. Only one of them has the view controller you want.

TL;DR - clear everything and remove old version of the app as well, if there's any.

It may sound crazy, but suppose that if you have changed target name which changed bundle name as well, you might have both the old and new version of the app installed in the simulator / device, and this might cause trouble for the UIStoryboard instance failed to instantiate some view controllers, which might eventually cause the trouble described in the question. To solve it, you need to remove all related apps or simply reset the simulator / device.

I figured it out, the problem was that the Storyboard wasn't updating in the device.

  1. Uninstall the app from the simulator/iPhone/iPad
  2. Product > Clean
  3. Build & Run

As stated in @T0m_Twt's answer in this question

In the right pane, in the identity inspector section give a storyboard Id to your Navigation Controller.

I took a screenshot for you

By chance, do you have a storyboard for iPhone and a different one for iPad? If you do, then the iPad one might not have a storyboard with that identifier. Also when running on an iPad, set a break point in your code and verify what your "storyboard" object is.

I use a category on UIStoryboard that will give me the storyboards for each platform.

I can use [UIStoryboard storyboardHome] and that will determine if it needs iPad or iPhone specific and return that to me. I also ensure my storyboards follow proper naming. So I would have Home_iPad and Home_iPhone.
