You cannot pass a string in like that. You would use:

- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibName bundle:(NSBundle *)mainBundle {

...

}

and call it from some other line of code like this:

[[Class alloc] initWithNibName:@"Landscape.xib" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];

In method declaration you can't use string literals for parameter name. Declare it

- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)name bundle:(NSBundle *)mainBundle {
...

and pass @"Landscape.xib" as parameter when call that method

P.S. not sure if that's relevant to your question or not, but just in case - objective-c does not support default values for function parameters.
