I managed to solve this problem in my iPad App through the following steps:

  1. Checking the Build Phases
  2. Editing the Info.plist file to add the option "Main storyboard file base name (iPad)"

Just like in this picture: resposta.jpg

My issue was only on iOS 5. The resolution was found at http://need-bee.com/b/2013/08/could-not-find-a-storyboard-in-xcode-5-for-ios-5-0/

To summarize: In Xcode, open each story board file and uncheck "Base" under localization on the right hand side. It will prompt you to move to English. Select ok. Once rebuilt my issue was resolved.

If the failure occurs after launch, check to make sure any references to a storyboard via storyboardWithName: refers to the correct name. You may have an incorrect name hardcoded in your binary.

In my case, I renamed the storyboard (based on a suggested workaround on stack overflow), but forgot to rename references to the storyboard in code. The symptoms were that changes to the storyboard weren't visible in the running application, but once I reset the simulator, the app stopped working completely. In that case, the old, stale copy of the storyboard was around at first and was used; once the simulator was reset, the stale copy disappeared and the "could not find a storyboard" message started appearing.

I was encountering the same problem as in the original question but for me there wasn't really a bug - rather, the storyboard which appeared in the project navigator as "Main.Storyboard" actually had a base name of "Main" in info.plist. So my attempts to use "MainStoryboard" and "Main.Storyboard" in my code were generating a crash, but once I changed it to "Main" it worked just fine - didn't need any of the elaborate workarounds above.

I got this problem today as well, for me, a Product > Clean solved the problem. After that, I can rebuild the app and run it inside the Simulator without any issue.

Remove from the project all the StoryBoards and add all of them again, for me worked.

In my case, the iPad storyboard file was already in the project, and testing the app worked until I introduced what seems to be an unrelated bug... I fixed this by changing the filename in xCode for the MainStoryBoard_iPad to MainStoryBoard_iPad1 and changing the TARGETS > Summary > iPad deployment Info > Main Storyboard entry. For good measure also verifying the same in -Info.plist file and Build Phases accordingly... similar to @daniel-lima.

Hopefully, this may help others that did not fix based on above notes. This started after I fixed a CoreData related bug in a category-file. The issue was reproducible on another machine... and this fixed it on both machines.

Click target and there is Mainstoryboard with textfield. Click and select your storyboard named "Mainstoryboard_iPad" and clean your project and then run it.
