Creating a new storyboard in Xcode and making it the main one (black screen in simulator)

Question

I accidentally deleted my original Main.storyboard file that came with the project when I first began it. Now, I need all of the steps necessary to create a new storyboard and make it the new main storyboard for the project. I only need one storyboard. When I run my app in simulator my whole app is just a black screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am programming in Swift.

Answer 1

I Also noticed that you have asked about assign the storyboard's view controller as the main one :-

here's the way :-

Click on View Controller

Open Attribute Inspector

Select View Controller as the initial one and you're ready to go.

Let Me come up with a better solution

Method 1

if you have deleted the story board as remove refrence like this

don't worry about anything your storyboard is still safe.

inside your project suppose you have your project saved on desktop as project1 go to project1 then you'll see a couple of folders find a folder named project1

Open it and you'll see some file's like this

all you have to do is go to Base.ipoj folder and if you find these files

either you can drag the file to your project or you can add them by this way.

browse your file For example desktop/project1/project1/Base.Iproj/Main.Storyboard

click on Add button and you'll have your Storyboard file.

and if you deleted the file by selecting "Move to trash" You can look up into trash copy your file to another folder and add the file as mentioned in the above steps.

Method 2

if you want to add a new Storyboard just do :-

click on Next and save it and You'll have your new Storyboard.
